Editorial Review for The Charles Hotel – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
These esteemed Cambridge lodgings are surrounded by some of the area's more notable dining and pampering destinations. Two well-regarded restaurants--the nationally esteemed Rialto and the more humble and homey Henrietta's Table--are housed on the second floor. Regattabar, one of the city's most renowned jazz clubs, and the plush Le Pli day spa are also on the premises. Rooms run about $550 (at peak season); suites can run anywhere from $650 to $3,000.

The Details
If God is indeed in the details, the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square deserves holy status. Services run the gamut; on top of the amenities de rigeur among top hotels (a beauty shop, spa, fitness center and indoor pool), look for bonuses like quilted down comforters, terry bathrobes, plus bathrooms outfitted with scales and even the occasional TV.

The Cheerful Charles

11/04/2005 Posted by lewemw

The Charles Hotel is an amazing hotel and it all started with the wonderfully efficient reservation agents. I had booked my reservation online and had a special request of an early check-in, later that afternoon I had received an e-mail from a reservation agent letting me know that they had received my request and that they would try their best to comply. I travel a lot and stay at a fair number of high-end places around the world. I have never before had a hotel send me an email from an actual person. It was a very cool touch and showed me the level of service The Charles Hotel provides. The rest of my stay was just great. The reception desk was charming and enjoyable. The rooms were flawless and my whole stay at The Charles Hotel was very refreshing.
