A 54-foot square indoor ice rink is just outside the front door; a health club with indoor pool, a day spa, business center, and childcare services are available. (Children have access to the indoor pool during select times only.)

This Cambridge hotel features 294 guestrooms and suites, with views of Harvard Square, the Charles River, or the city.

Rooms feature contemporary designs complemented by Shaker-inspired furnishings. Guestrooms include custom-designed cherry wood desks, oversized clocks, and feather beds draped in hand-crafted quilts and premium bedding. A custom-designed professor's chair and hanging pegboard are reminiscent of a New England boarding school.

Modern touches include high-speed Internet access (surcharge) and Seura television mirrors. These recessed plasma TVs fade into the wall, and appear to be mirrors when not in use. The units can fully integrate with cable, satellite, antenna, external sound systems and DVD players. Phones offer complimentary local, domestic long-distance, and toll-free calls.

Each floor offers a computer kiosk with a printer, fax, copier, and high-speed Internet access (complimentary for the first 30 minutes).

All accommodations are nonsmoking.
