Iconic Cambridge hotel will enhance spaces and introduce an elevated experience for guests to rediscover.
CAMBRIDGE, MA – Hyatt Regency Boston / Cambridge announced an extensive property-wide renovation to enhance the hotel’s common spaces and meeting & events venues, and introduce new dining venues. Following an upgrade to the 479 guest rooms and suites, the project is underway and will be unveiled in the fall. Operated by Davidson Hotels, the hotel sits along the scenic Charles River where the energy of Boston blends with the intellectual vitality and charm of Cambridge, MA, and is the ideal gateway for guests to explore these historical New England cities.
“We are so excited to infuse a new energy into the property and reintroduce the hotel to today’s traveler,” said General Manager Melissa Green. “Our position on the iconic Charles River paired with the redesign of our spaces and overall guest experience, will welcome guests and locals alike to rediscover, enjoy and ultimately return.”
The renovation will encompass a full redesign of the hotel’s entrance and lobby, an overhaul of the property’s 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, the addition of a new dining outlet and neighboring market, a new state-of-the-art fitness center outfitted with Life Fitness equipment and Peloton bikes, and upgraded technology for a seamless overall guest experience. The project was designed by Campbell House and will feature a mix of styles to reflect the local universities and the life science community.

Upon arrival within a brand-new front entrance, guests will be welcomed by the hotel’s upgraded perimeter lighting that borders the hotel and luminates the city’s skyline. The spacious lobby and the iconic atrium will feature design details of warm neutrals and rich leather accents that will evoke the history and charm of the surrounding cities. Customized art pieces will decorate the walls as a nod to the local universities, evoking an enlightening aesthetic and ambiance.
Food + Beverage
