Hotel Information

There are three hotels in Kendall Square, Cambridge on the fringe of MIT’s campus and within walking distance of AgeLab and the MIT Faculty Club.

The Marriott is a standard big-city hotel with all of the usual amenities, plus two restaurants—it is one block from AgeLab. The Residence Inn is two blocks further from AgeLab and offers suites. The Kendall is a quaint, small hotel in the style of an inn, and has a small café on the ground floor. It is almost as close to AgeLab as the Marriott. For MIT visitors, each of these hotels offers a special rate—to obtain this, it is only necessary to request it when reserving the room. And each hotel offers parking for an extra charge.
