The hotel

Offering stunning views of the Boston skyline in a beautiful riverside setting, the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel prides itself on personalised service and exceptional accommodation. There's a whole host of things to see and do in the immediate area but the hotel offers a state-of-the-art fitness centre as well as the highly regarded Bambara Restaurant and Bar. A great place to relax, admire river views as you recline in deep-cushioned booths and feast on American brasserie-style cuisine. There's an emphasis on seafood dishes, accompanied, of course, by some very fine wines. Across the street from the hotel are unpaved trails, ideal for jogging, walking, biking and skating - the hotel offers complimentary bikes so grab one and explore. How about the setting, does the water tempt you? If so, there are also kayaks for complimentary use if you fancy paddling your way downstream. Spacious guest rooms are idea for larger groups and families are very well catered for with welcome packs for the kids.

Had an issue with the tub being broken, but Mike the engineering supervisor was very helpful/quick in resolving it, and got me moved to another room. The desk chair was super comfortable - wish I had one at home! And the mattress was very firm - just the way I like it, I slept so well. And the bathroom - besides the Jacuzzi, the size and counter space was so convenient to have. The wallpaper was beautiful. I highly recommend this place. Read less

Beautiful, clean hotel with a relaxing vibe to it. Loved the private drop-off/pickup for stress-free coming and going, hard to get that in Boston/Cambridge. The hotel room appeared to be recently renovated, it was nice!! I checked out the restaurant, Bambara, downstairs for dinner one night, what a meal. The staff was welcoming and friendly… Read more

The hotel room appeared to be recently renovated, it was nice!! I checked out the restaurant, Bambara, downstairs for dinner one night, what a meal. The staff was welcoming and friendly and accommodated my late check-out which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be heading back next time I am in the Boston/Cambridge area. Read less

Nice modern clean hotel. Had a room with two queen beds and it was a little small. I wish there had been a comfy chair to sit and read in. There was only one person at the reception desk so service was slow. No concierge, door person or any other staff in sight no matter the time of day so there was no one other than the desk person to ask for… Read more
Nice modern clean hotel. Had a room with two queen beds and it was a little small. I wish there had been a comfy chair to sit and read in. There was only one person at the reception desk so service was slow. No concierge, door person or any other staff in sight no matter the time of day so there was no one other than the desk person to ask for suggestions or directions etc. They did not serve any breakfast and the morning coffee was nothing to shout about to put is mildly. When we did ask about breakfast the best they could offer was dunkin donuts. Luckily we found an amazing place called Tatte a few blocks away. I imagine it would be more inviting under different circumstances. Read less
