Group bookings require minimum 7 rooms per night with 2-night stay. Food and beverage minimum is $300 per event. AV equipment available upon request.
“The Kendall Hotel occupies a unique space in Cambridge, blending boutique charm with genuine historical significance as the Engine 7 Firehouse. Its location in Kendall Square makes it convenient for those visiting MIT or the surrounding tech hub, and its style avoids predictable luxury in favor of early-American heritage, felt in the architecture and decor. I think the personalized service and unique common areas offer a compelling alternative to larger, more impersonal hotels.”
