About the Property: Cambridge Common House is a quiet retreat with a luxurious, residential ambiance just steps from the energy of Harvard Square. Behind our meticulously preserved 1835 facade—once the home of the influential Howe family—lies a collection of 16 guest rooms designed by Elder & Ash, featuring richly layered interiors and lush garden patios. As part of the Lark Hospitality family, we celebrate the enduring spirit of Cambridge, where past and present meet. We are a high-impact property that treats our staff with the same care and personalized attention we give our guests.
