Online arts magazine Vanyaland will produce a series of live performances and has curated playlists from local musicians in the common areas and private function rooms at Somerville’s newest hotel.

The Cambridge Hotel Boston Somerville contains 163 guest rooms, including a 960-square-foot rooftop suite with private balcony and Boston skyline views. Designed by architects CambridgeSeven with interiors by Bill Rooney Studio, the 6-story hotel features a crenelated wood-textured cement panel facade.

Saunders Hotel Group of Boston manages the hotel operations. Cambria Hotels is a franchised brand of Choice Hotels International, including a South Boston location that opened in 2019 and upcoming locations in Portland, Maine and New Haven and South Windsor, Connecticut.

They Said It:

“Cambria Boston Somerville speaks to the transformation of nearby Union Square into a burgeoning, transit-oriented neighborhood while being equally close to Cambridge. The hotel is a blend of urban chic, influenced by Somerville’s unique neighborhoods, combined with a dynamic exterior design that boldly reframes this location into a focal point along Somerville Avenue.”
