Weddingbee boards

A few hotels in Cambridge that are really nice are the Royal Sonesta, Le Meridien, The Charles hotel, Hotel Marlowe - what time of year are you getting married?

I've stayed at the Marlowe a number of times -- it's awesome. I can't think of a better place to spend my wedding night with friends! It would also be a great backdrop for pictures, not only in the rooms, but also in the sitting room in the lobby downstairs.

The Marlowe is really cool, I've been to Le Meridien (I think it used to be the Hotel @ MIT) & they are actually renovating right now & will be finished at the end of March. It's a really cool hotel too so I think after the reno it will be amazing. The Charles is more "traditional" but also beautiful and they have some great restaurants there (Henrietta's Table & Rialto).

It's definitely not as fancy as the other mentioned places, but if cost is an issue you could look at the Doubletree Soldier's Field just across the river from Harvard.  I really like Doubletree suites and the service is generally great.  I don't know exactly where you are getting married, but hotels on soldier's field are very accessible to Cambridge (actually possibly even more so than locations near Harvard or Kendall's Sq. b/c less small streets and traffic).  B/c the entire area is expensive, I suspect it might still run you $200+, but probably much cheaper than the, for example, the Charles.

(but BTW, I love the restaurant at the Hotel Marlowe.  My friends got married there and they do the catering...so good, and they took me with them for their tasting!)
