Experience the charm of The Charles.

The Charles Hotel is a proud member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts and a AAA Four Diamond award-winning hotel. Situated in the heart of Harvard Square, bordering the Harvard campus and a mere 10 minutes from downtown Boston's world-class attractions and Logan International Airport, our location is unparalleled.

At The Charles Hotel, we pride ourselves on offering an understated, elegant charm that seamlessly combines with the warmth and ambiance of a New England home. Picture yourself in our inviting library, where you can savor a drink and engage in meaningful conversations with friends. Relax in one of our 303 well-appointed rooms, including 46 suites.

What sets us apart is the dynamic atmosphere of thoughtful intellectual discourse and learning, which captivates both the young and old, the influential and the contemplative. We bring together the best of both worlds, blending our serious side with a touch of zany off-beat fun. From our captivating quilt collection to the soulful notes of jazz concerts and an eclectic restaurant inspired by the essence of a pig, our offerings are as diverse as they are delightful.

At The Charles Hotel, we serve as a home-away-from-home for accomplished, esteemed guests visiting Boston or Harvard. We're their choice because we consistently meet their exceptionally high standards. We look forward to welcoming you!
