Locally Owned & Managed

June 11, 2020

Supporting small businesses will help our community thrive and contribute to the organic growth of new businesses.

The Kendall Hotel has become a preferred home away from home for many of our guests who are visiting Boston/Cambridge. Whether on a college tour or traveling on business, nothing has brought us more delight than providing every one of you with a singular and memorable hotel experience.

The restrictions and recommendations from our local government & the CDC have made it impossible to welcome guests until August. We are taking this time to enhance our cleaning standards and put the final touches in each guest room and public areas to ensure, as best to our ability, the safety, and well-being of our guests and our staff.

This year marks the Kendall Hotel at the Engine 7 Firehouse 125th birthday. Please celebrate with and enjoy incredible savings with our 125th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION PACKAGE. Click here to book, and under Rate Options next to promo code, type 125 to reserve this package through the end of this year.

During the foreseeable future, guidelines outlined by the State of Massachusetts & the CDC, some hotel amenities may not be offered or adjusted accordingly.
