A most original luxury hotel, The Charles Hotel combines classic New England design and sophisticated service. You can see the character in the signature quilts, bountiful regional cuisine, and thoughtful planning. Located in the heart of Harvard Square, just minutes from downtown Boston, Massachusetts, The Charles Hotel has become the home away from home for internationally renowned business leaders, government officials, entertainment executives and leisure travelers. A AAA Four Diamond Hotel, The Charles Hotel offers the finest, most distinctive guest accommodations in the Boston area with 294 spacious guestrooms, including 45 suites that combine Shaker-inspired aesthetic with modern touches. Reflecting the eclecticism that is Cambridge, The Charles Hotel is a modern interpretation of New England hospitality with a thriving jazz club, the Regattabar, two signature restaurants and state of the art conference facilities. With an abundance of options, The Charles Hotel is recognized nationally for fine dining. Henrietta's Table serves award-winning New England classics using ingredients procured from local vendors and organic farmers for breakfast, lunch, supper and Saturday and Sunday brunch. Rialto offers Mediterranean fusion cuisine nightly and has been rated one of Gourmet's Top 60 Hotel Restaurants in the World. Noir, located in the hotel's lobby, is designed to reflect the intense, decadent atmosphere of 1940's nightlife and is a perfect spot to enjoy a classic cocktail. With flawless service, original accommodations and creative, award-winning cuisine, it is no wonder that the New England Travel Guide has designated The Charles Hotel as the best hotel to "stay put in" when visiting Boston, Massachusetts.
