THE PRICE PICTURE

$374 historical one night example

THINK TWICE IF

Your whole itinerary is in Back Bay

01 / THE BRAND

What it’s all about.

A modern lifestyle hotel at Harvard’s Enterprise Research Campus. The Atlas makes the most sense for Allston, Harvard Business School and Cambridge plans, with contemporary rooms and social dining rather than a traditional Back Bay setting.

King rooms, two queen rooms and suites

Ama restaurant

Foxglove Terrace rooftop bar
