Even if Harvard isn’t your alma mater, you can still say you went to Harvard when you stay at The Inn at Harvard. Owned by the university, this on-campus hotel might look a little like a dorm from the outside, but once you walk through the front door, you’ll know you’re in an elegant hotel. The lobby’s four-story atrium, filled with cozy sitting areas, was inspired by a Venetian villa. Shepherdess sculptures and Juliet balconies add to the atrium’s Continental feel. Guest rooms look out onto the university itself or Harvard Square. The rooms are uncluttered and feature traditional furnishings; soft white and beige dominate the color scheme, supplemented by pale blue florals and original artwork from the University’s Fogg Art Museum. Dine in the atrium, or walk across the Charles River bridge to Faneueil Hall or Newbury Street. Of course, your time may be fully occupied by the diverse museums and attractions on the Harvard campus, including the Fogg and the Sanders Theatre.
