Arts and Culture

The Charles Hotel has some extraordinary art located through out the property.  A guidebook is offered at the concierge desk that will allow you walk through and view this anthology of regional art in America, with an emphasis on New England culture and landscape. Many of the original paintings, drawings, photographs and quilts on display throughout the hotel were specially commissioned for us. Established artists such as Joel Babb, Aaron Fink, Pat Steir and Michael Mazur have all created works of art exclusively for The Charles Hotel.

Whether you're captivated by our early American quilt collection, George Nick's painting of Cambridge's historic Longfellow House or the charcoal drawings of the sycamores that line Memorial Drive, the art collection enhances your Charles Hotel experience and furthers your appreciation for the eclecticism of Cambridge.
