Kimpton Marlowe Hotel

I stayed here for a couple of days. Check-in/check-out was quick and the front desk staff were very friendly. The hotel is very nice, clean, quite and looks new. My room was great. Very spacious, very clean, very modern and the bed/bedding was awesome. I slept like a baby. The lobby, lounge areas were great. The onsite restaurant (Bambara) was fantastic. Great staff and very friendly. The food was very good (Smoked St. Lous Ribs). The text messaging service option was great. The staff (Garrett & Michael) replied promptly and offered instant updates on any questions I had. I would definitely book this hotel again on my next visit to Boston/Cambridge.

Positive: It was beautiful and very comfortable!! Negative: The only thing I didn't like was when I went to check out when they gave me my receipt there was a bunch of room service charges on there and we didn't order any room service. But they refunded me what was charged for the room service.

Dog friendly (no pet fee), dog bowl and pet bed was offered to use. Clean rooms, quiet, The hotel charges a $25 destination fee per night and that covers free bike and kayak rentals (first come first served) and a $10 destination credit that can be used in the restaurant. The bed, pillows, and linens were very comfortable. My only critique is the condition of some of the fixtures in my room. The shower temperature control handle was loose, wallpaper seemed to be in poor condition in some spots, and closet door handles weren’t level. Cambridge is convenient to most Boston attractions. If you have a capital one card and book via their portal, you can get additional benefits such as a $50 experience credit to use at the restaurant or other areas of the hotel (can be used for parking too) I parked at a garage nearby (245 1st st) at a rate of ~$17 for 24 hrs Definitely would stay again!

We booked a hotel block for our wedding guests to stay at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel during our wedding last weekend, as well as stayed there ourselves for two nights. Everything was perfect! In the lead-up to our wedding, Haley was always available to answer any questions that we or our guests had. Upon arrival, our guests complimented the rooms, the amenities, and the friendliness of the staff. For our room, hotel staff had provided chairs and mirrors for the hair- and make-up session. After the wedding, they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and strawberries. We highly recommend booking the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel for your wedding. A special thanks to Haley for providing such excellent support!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel! From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed by the warm and attentive staff. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. I loved the hotel’s stylish, modern design — it felt both elegant and comfortable at the same time. My room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and offered stunning views of the Boston skyline and the Charles River. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and amenities that made my stay feel extra special. The location was perfect for me — close to great shopping and dining, and an easy walk into Boston. Everything I needed was right there. I truly enjoyed my experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

A perfect Urban hotel features the greatest and most comfortable rooms, professional and accommodating as well as helpful staff and a great location. Make this a perfect Boston area destination. All the staff members at the hotel are very helpful, knowledgeable and professional which makes every small issue easy. The hotel is joined with the Cambridge shopping mall. Just a quick walk through the indoor parking lot which makes the move smooth and easy. Fantastic valet service for a very affordable price and don't miss on the restaurant on the hotel with the perfect bartenders that makes the meal a happy and great one.

I'll admit, Boston has been a hard city to find a hotel that suits my needs at an appropriate price. As the new ownership of my formerly preferred Marriott has turned their Cambridge hotel into a scam, I decided to give Kimpton a chance. My experience with IHG, and especially Kimpton has been very positive (mostly in Philadelphia). The Marlowe was another great example of what IHG is doing right, a comfortable hotel with some personality in a great location. The hotel is super dog friendly - so dog friendly in fact that our room still has a good amount of pet hair when we arrived. I'll say they absolutely offered to do another cleaning and remove it, and we felt it was not worth it - still, if absolute cleanliness is your first priority (and you aren't traveling with pets) maybe another hotel is a better fit. The location is ideal, with an underground connection to the local mall allowing an easy morning coffee and quick start to a day. Tons of shops in the mall mean if you forgot anything, you don't have to worry, and plenty of shopping to be had. The hotel was wonderfully festive and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They were quick to adjust our checkout time to suit our needs and responsive throughout our stay. This will be my primary Boston/Cambridge hotel moving forward, and I hope I'll not need to find another.
