• Discover the Victorian charm of The Kendall House. Located in a former firehouse from 1895, this historic hotel is among the most historic structures at Kendall Square. As such, The Kendall House is cherished as a local city landmark.

• Stay in one of the historic guestrooms located in the former firemen’s dormitory, which are decorated according to an American folk art theme. In addition to firehouse artifacts, the Kendall is furnished with handmade quilts and both antique and reproduction furnishings.

• Step out of the hotel and take a walk around Kendall Square, the most innovative square mile on the planet, which is due in part to its proximity to MIT and the entrepreneurial startups that surround the neighborhood. This historic neighborhood has been an important transportation hub since the construction of the West Boston Bridge in 1793, which provided the first direct wagon route between Boston and Cambridge.
