"The sleek, pleasantly quirky, 31-room hotel achieves what all boutique hotels strive for:

 a place where small feels interesting and intimate, not limiting or lacking."  Boston Globe

    
Hotel Veritas is a 31-room luxury, boutique hotel in Harvard Square offering personalized service in an intimate Cantabrigian setting. Our guests are as diverse and interesting as Harvard University and the city itself.

Hotel Veritas

The entire look and feel of our hotel near Harvard University is elegant and current, with a respectful nod towards our traditional and historic neighborhood. The hotel’s guest room accommodations, while small in size, are designed with the fine detailing of an old New England residence and furnishings that are interesting contemporary pieces with rich fabrics and textures.

The bathrooms feature marble showers and countertops, Villeroy & Boch fixtures, and Palais Jamais by Etro bath amenities. The Egyptian cotton bed linens, Turkish towels and robes are by Anichini.

Rates include wireless Internet access, access to the Gym at Karma Yoga, domestic phone calls, and beverages 24-hours-a-day: Nespresso espressos & coffees, teas, juices, bottled water, and sodas.
