Built in 1927, the Sheraton Commander Hotel, Harvard Square's premiere hotel, possesses unparalleled style and grace. Situated on historic Cambridge Common, near the site where George Washington took command of the Continental Army, our Mount Vernon inspired entrance stands as a stately reminder and starting point for Cambridge's rich culture and history. Located on the North side of the Charles River, which separates us from Boston, we are surrounded by Harvard University and just minutes from Lesley, Tufts, and MIT, as well as a wealth of shopping and fine dining. Our 175 comfortably appointed guest rooms are the perfect vantage point from which to experience the sights and sounds of Cambridge. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you in experiencing all that the city has to offer.
