The Hyatt Regency Cambridge

Across the street from the Charles River and 10 minutes by car from downtown Boston, the Hyatt Regency books businesspeople on weeknights and vacationers on weekends. It's convenient to Harvard and Kendall squares and Boston University, though not near the subway. The landmark pyramidal building underwent $15 million in renovations in 2010. The spacious, well-outfitted guest rooms hold pillow-top beds; most face the 16-story atrium, others overlook central Cambridge, and the best enjoy breathtaking views of Boston. Families can take advantage of special two-room rates, subject to availability. If you plan to rely on public transit, allow time for the bus or hotel shuttle. The closest competitor is the Doubletree, which is even farther from public transit but consists of all suites.
