About The Kendall

Whether relaxing in a Deluxe King room for a weekend getaway or setting up temporary office in a Luxury Suite, all guests can appreciate the inviting ambiance, attentive staff and convenient access to public transportation.

Inside the Kendall, the Black Sheep Restaurant (named after the legendary, motley fireman of Engine 7) serves classic American cuisine, as well as innovative dishes. Guests can enjoy the complimentary, full breakfast buffet served daily, eat lunch and dinner, or enjoy a drink at the full bar. All food is made with the freshest ingredients, and wines and beers are carefully selected from around the country.

Located in the forward-thinking Kendall Square neighborhood, alongside MIT and major tech firms, The Kendall is a piece of preserved history amidst technology. In homage of the independence of the Black Sheep, The Kendall, with Queen Anne-style architecture, remains one of the area’s only 19th century buildings. It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, and on the National Register of Historic Places.

    The Black Sheep Restaurant with full bar, named in honor of the Engine 7 firefighters, pays tribute to the history of the building and the self-proclaimed ‘black sheep’ of the Cambridge Fire Department. Found on the street-level of the Kendall Hotel, the restaurant follows the Victorian-era theme with early-American décor and fireman regalia. With warm colors, plenty of natural lighting and delicious smells from the kitchen, the Black Sheep Restaurant will satisfy the senses, and of course, appetites, of guests staying at the hotel or those just popping in for food or a drink.

    The restaurant’s lunch and dinner menus feature classic American dishes, as well as innovative twists to home-style cuisine with ample choice for meat eaters and vegetarians. Sophistication through simplicity, the menu items are made of carefully selected organic and locally grown produce. The chef insists that fresh, quality ingredients are the basis for any nourishing meal. From the bar, enjoy a cocktail, beer from a local brewery or wine from a carefully selected winery in the United States.

    Alongside the technology boom came an influx of restaurants, arts, and culture and the neighborhood is brimming with sights, smells and sounds. Wander the area to discover cuisine from around the world, traditional pubs or wine bars. Culture, nature, and seasonal activities can also be found nearby, and of course, across the river is Boston.

    Contemporary art can be enjoyed at MIT’s List Visual Arts Center, or on a walking tour through campus. There are several public art displays to enjoy, as well as architecture by Frank Gehry, Eero Saarinen and Fumihiko Maki. The nearby Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center has rotating exhibits from around the world, cultural events and a free summer concert series.

    Many parks and green spaces are scattered throughout the neighborhood, and the Square offers outdoor concerts in summer and ice skating in winter. The Kendall Hotel is a short walk to Memorial Drive along the Charles River. If you’re visiting over July 4th, an evening stroll that direction will be rewarded with an impressive fireworks display from a river barge. Across the bridge, the Esplanade park attracts guests and residents.

    Central Square & East Cambridge are two interesting areas to explore. A 15 – 20 minute walk northwest of The Hotel (also accessible by the Red Line/ Central Square stop) brings you to the eclectic community of Central square with live music, coffee shops and bars. East Cambridge offers Portuguese bakeries, shopping centers and popular bars and pubs, reflecting the strong Irish and Portuguese heritage.

    The Freedom Trail and trolley tours are pleasurable and informative ways to see Boston. With The Kendall only steps away from the T’s Red Line and the only trolley tour stop in Cambridge, the Hotel is in a prime location to start exploring both cities. Historic, Harvard Square is only two stops heading north, and Central Boston a few stops south where you can connect to other lines that will take you throughout the city.
