Located in the heart of Harvard Square, bordering the Harvard campus and a mere 10 minutes from downtown Boston's world-class attractions and Logan International Airport, our location is unparalleled.

At The Charles Hotel, we pride ourselves on offering an understated, elegant charm that seamlessly combines with the warmth and ambiance of a New England home. Picture yourself in our inviting library, where you can savor a drink and engage in meaningful conversations with friends. Relax in one of our 303 well-appointed rooms, including 46 suites.

We bring together the best of both worlds, blending our serious side with a touch of zany off-beat fun. From our captivating quilt collection to the soulful notes of jazz concerts and an eclectic restaurant inspired by the essence of a pig, our offerings are as diverse as they are delightful.

Gay-friendly hotels selected by misterb&b

We strive to ensure that gay travelers feel welcome wherever they go. To support this mission, we have introduced gay-friendly hotels as alternatives to our community-based room and apartment-sharing options. This initiative is made possible through our partnership with B2B accommodation providers, which enables us to connect with a wide range of properties worldwide.

How do we evaluate these properties as gay-friendly hotels?
To assess their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider several criteria. These include support or affiliation with LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), and LGBTNetwork. We also evaluate how hotels engage with the LGBTQ+ community by checking for an LGBTQ+ section on their websites, their marketing investments in LGBTQ+ media, staff training programs (such as those offered by Out Now), and their Human Rights Campaign (HRC) ratings in the USA.
