It's been a while since we've been to an event at the Hyatt Regency Boston Cambridge, so we were curious to see how the hotel was stacking up. The physical layout of the hotel is interesting, with a large atrium and exposed glass elevators. There's function space on the first couple of levels, plus ballrooms up on 14 to 16 with nice views of the Charles River. It's not the largest amount of function space, but it was adequate. The stepped-ziggurat style to the hotel looks interesting, and means there's a bunch of rooms with exterior terraces, and a few with balconies out into the atrium. Otherwise, quite a few have views of the river, and the rest of Cambridge. The hotel isn't hard to drive to from the Cambridge exist off the Mass Pike. It's not that close to other parts of Cambridge, being right against the river, basically right at the end of the large chunk of MIT property. Fortunately, the combination of the Paperback Tavern, a sit-down restaurant offering typically breakfast and dinner, and Paperback Provisions, a quick-service spot on the first floor for coffee, snacks, and light fare. Fortunately also these days it's easy to also get food delivered if you prefer. The Paperback Tavern was very nice, with noticeable high-quality food. Maria and the other waitresses, and the woman who greeted us, were all very nice, and did a great job. Sometimes there can be a wait for a table at the Paperback Tavern, so plan ahead, or make a reservation online. Most rates will wind up paying a $20 daily destination fee, which entitles you to several things like the gym, a couple bottles of water per day, a hotel shuttle (with limited Cambridge destinations, probably not the airport, but include the T (MBTA) station, and $10 credit per day at Paperback Tavern. However, if you're on an event rate, you may get these benefits without paying that fee, so you might want to check on that. The parking garage is not that big, so during large events finding a spot may be difficult.

“Great Hotel, well situated and anticipated all my needs”

As a globalist, I cannot recommend this hotel enough! The hotel is magnificently located on the river and the views from the river facing rooms are spectacular.

As a globalist, I cannot recommend this hotel enough! The hotel is magnificently located on the river and the views from the river facing rooms are spectacular. The interior of the hotel has a pyramid style layout with interior facing elevators that allow you to experience the ascent, looking out over the whole layout of the floors. We loved our University Suite upgrade which had an excellent layout and featured an interior balcony which was a nice quiet space to enjoy coffee. The parking is conveniently connected to the hotel and is self park and valet if you choose. I would only try to find out there is a way to better control the climate for the rooms. We loved the breakfast experience. I would recommend ordering from the menu vs. the buffet as the menu items had a fresh quality as they were made from scratch. I recommend the hotel and the Hyatt loyalty program. I will be returning.

“First time Hyatt stay, definitely not the last”

The staff here was so helpful in making sure our room was as wheelchair accessible as possible. They brought up extra, extra pillows to make sure my husband was comfortable. Paperback Tavern is a wonderful dining experience with a creative and delicious menu.
