The Fairfield Inn & Suites Boston Cambridge’s signature “smart” room décor welcomes guests into a comfortable, productive and restful environment. Flexible and functional, the guest room includes a well-designed work area, an ergonomic chair, task lighting and convenient electrical outlets where guests need them. Nine foot high ceilings, oversized windows and quartz topped furniture give the room an upscale, urban atmosphere.
The hotel’s thoughtfully designed rooms and suites place the living and working area near the window to allow for more natural light and views. Building on this intuitive design, the room décor features upscale patterns and finishes, blending natural tones with bright pops of color. The new design also places the sleeping area toward the middle of the room, helping to give guests a better night’s sleep on plush mattresses, as well as easier access to the bathroom and wardrobe. The bright, spacious living area in our suites also offers a comfortable couch, energy-efficient refrigerator, coffeemaker and microwave, and the shower and bath areas complete the modern appointments in all standard king rooms and suites.
