Set along the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge, the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel offers families a welcoming retreat that blends urban sophistication with thoughtful hospitality. Steps from Boston’s vibrant attractions, this boutique hotel provides an environment where LGBTQ+ families can feel fully welcomed and at ease.
From arrival, the Marlowe’s warmth is immediately felt. Children are greeted with engaging amenities like the Little Reader’s Club and courtyard games, while parents can appreciate the hotel’s attentive service and stylish accommodations. The staff’s genuine warmth ensures that every family member feels seen and valued.
Positioned just across the river from Boston and moments from the T (Boston’s subway system), the hotel makes navigating the city feel remarkably manageable with children — whether heading to the Museum of Science, catching a game, or simply exploring neighborhood streets. After a day of adventure, families can unwind in spacious suites, enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant Bambara, or participate in the hotel’s evening wine hour, a thoughtful ritual many parents come to appreciate.
Kimpton Marlowe creates a city stay that moves easily at a family’s pace, and, in true Kimpton fashion, even the family pet is welcomed with ease.
