Choice Hotels International has opened the Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville. The new four-story, 163-room hotel joins the Cambria Hotel Boston, Downtown-South Boston as well as the soon-to-open Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown Old Port, Maine; Cambria Hotel Manchester South Windsor, Conn.; and Cambria Hotel New Haven, Conn.; which are expected to open this year.
"Boston has long been lauded for its thriving academic community and innovation-driven culture, which makes it the ideal location to introduce another Cambria hotel as we look to expand our upscale offerings in popular markets across the region," said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. "We know modern travelers want enriching experiences when they visit, and the Cambria Hotel Boston Sommerville offers this and more, immersing guests in local culture at the vibrant city center through sophisticated, urban loft design while delivering top-notch amenities to help them stay at their best."
The hotel’s design includes natural materials like walnut and jeweled hues of emerald and topaz fused with gold metals to reflect Somerville's arts and culture scene and academic tradition.
Public spaces include a game room, meeting and event spaces and a fitness center. Onsite dining is coming soon and will include local craft beer as well as to-go options.
The property is 2 miles from Boston's city center. Harvard University, Tufts University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are all within walking distance of the hotel.
The Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville was developed by The Noannet Group. There are currently 60 Cambria hotels open across the U.S. with more than 70 hotels in the pipeline.
