Located near Cambridge�s prestigious universities and world-class biotechnology campuses, the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge offers guests unique amenities to provide a distinct neighborhood experience. Nightly themed activities, such as handcrafted sushi demonstrations, poetry readings, martini-making classes, beer and wine tastings, and live local jazz and blues entertainment will bring the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Harvard Square right inside the hotel lobby. �This hotel is not your average Courtyard by Marriott,� says Tony Schatz of Meyer Jabara Hotels, general manager of the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge. �We have incorporated the Cambridge theme into almost every aspect of our guest experience to truly differentiate ourselves from an ordinary stay in the city.� As part of Meyer Jabara Hotel�s new approach to managing Courtyards by Marriott, Schatz will offer guests a variety of exclusive, themed stay packages at the new Cambridge location. They include the �Historic Pub Crawl� where guests can sample Sam Adams beer and experience some of the area�s best pubs; the �Godiva Getaway,� a perfect combination of chocolate and romance; the �Business in Cambridge,� which offers amenities that transform an ordinary business trip into a memorable getaway; and the �Food & Wine Escape� that presents New England�s best wine and travel experiences. �If you are visiting the area for university commencement, business travel, summer vacation or planning a memorable Boston wedding, the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge offers a one-of-a-kind Cambridge experience to maximize your stay in this historic and world-class city,� says Schatz. The hotel boasts a variety of guest amenities, including exciting dining and entertainment options, an indoor swimming pool with adjacent observation deck, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a guest laundry room. In addition, the newly renovated guest rooms boast panoramic views of the Charles River, City of Cambridge and Boston skyline, feature king- or queen-sized beds, a seating area with sofa bed or oversized chair, a large well-lit work desk, telephones equipped with data ports and complimentary wireless internet. The lobby hosts a 24-hour �grab-and-go� food and beverage area called �The Market� as well as a lounge to work, meet and dine. The Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge also offers 6,000 square feet of bright and welcoming meeting space for business travelers as well as a business center with individual workstations. Additionally, the large function rooms are ideal venues to host memorable weddings and social affairs.
