Perched on the commons in Cambridge, our home at 2 Garden Street has been decorated with academia from the very beginning. Whether you’re amongst the walls of what was previously a boarding school on our third floor, or peering through the windows to the oldest institution for higher education in America, elevate your stay with a schoolyard archetype, one that fits you, or who you wanted to be - even if just for old time’s sake.
First Day in Harvard Square? Let the “seniors” show you around with a walking tour for two courtesy of Hahvahd Square Tours. And your lunch? Light bites for two are packed in your classic lunch basket with a special note from home - we mean the Common House.
Immerse yourself in the academic world of Harvard Square. Open the door to your historic guest room and discover an Antique Blind-Date-With a-Book sourced from Harvard Square with a hand-pressed floral bookmark. Then walk the halls of the Prestigious Harvard University and find yourself with two tickets to the Harvard Natural History Museum.
Designed for travelers who like to stay one step ahead. Whether you’re in town for a lecture, an important meeting, or a quick stopover. Enjoy early access to your room (upon availability) so you can settle in, refresh, and get a head start on your day. We’ll have your room stocked with a welcome snack, bottled water, and a convenient charging station to keep all your devices powered and ready. To round it out, you’ll receive a $30 credit at a local dining spot, a well-earned happy hour, just a five-minute walk from our front door.
