Reviews for Hotel Marlowe, a Kimpton Hotel
GUEST




I do not think there is enough space here to write how happy I was with the Hotel Marlowe. From beginning to end it was fantastic!!! Amy our wedding coordinator was awesome and fun to work with. The staff the night of our wedding was great. Oh and the food is to die for!
We had a cocktail style reception and a lot of little tweaks leading right up until the day of the wedding. The staff implemented everything and room looked exactly as I had dreamed it would. The venue itself is awesome, the decor and feel as well as the great location was perfect for our wedding.
GUEST




The Marlowe staff were extremely attentive to our guests and worked with us to create the perfect wedding!
GUEST




We loved our wedding at Hotel Marlowe. We had a beautiful day and had our ceremony at the park next to the hotel. Amy was great during the entire planning process answering questions promptly, and making our day unique and special.
GUEST




We had a wonderful experience at the Hotel Marlowe. Our wedding day ran smoothly; the food was fantastic and their presentation was everything they promised it would be. The only issue we had was communication leading up to the wedding day. It occasionally took a while to hear back from our coordinator. It was wedding season and she was busy with other brides, but at times it was difficult to get answers we needed to pass along to our vendors. We felt the value of the Hotel Marlowe was outstanding compared to the other venues we looked at in Boston and Newport. The hotel room rates were very reasonable. All of our guests commented on the outstanding amenities that were offered and we were pleased with everything that was included in our wedding package. If we had to do it over again, we would absolutely choose the Hotel Marlowe again.

Excellent. Amazing. Perfect. We got married at the Hotel Marlowe on Oct. 15, 2011. It has been two weeks already and people are still raving over how amazing the entire event was. Living in the Boston area my entire life, I always wanted a “Boston” wedding. After looking at some of the pricing around, I realized this type of event was not in my budget. A friend of mine referred us to the Hotel Marlowe (she also got married there). I had never heard of the hotel, but after our first site visit I knew this was the place I wanted to have my wedding at. It is elegant, modern, classic, trendy and everything I wanted for my day. I had some major requirements coming from a very Italian family including quality food, large portions and reasonable pricing. Hotel Marlowe offered all of that and more. Working with Regina made our event so my easier and flawless. She was amazing and easy to work with, especially with all my crazy last minute changes. The hotel catered to our very demanding food needs and menu edits. Their display and service was phenomenal. The servers are experienced and know how to properly take care of the guests. The bartenders were super nice too! The taste and quality of the food was to die for and more importantly the portions were large enough to keep my family happy. We had about 190 guests at our event and every person was taken care of and content. We thought parking would be an issue, but they took care of the complimentary valet (included in our package). We were so close to Boston, that all of our formal wedding shots were taken on Memorial Drive overlooking the amazing view. We also received a complimentary night in the hotel bridal suite. The room was SO CUTE! We really could not have been happier to have chosen the Hotel Marlowe. All of the staff and service are excellent and this is a great place to hold a wedding. We will definitely be back to enjoy the views, rooms as well as the local Bambara restaurant. Thank you so much Hotel Marlowe for an amazing event!

We had our reception at the Marlowe- it was everything we wanted and more. Working with Maggie made everything so smooth for us. Our guests are still raving about the food and service they got at the wedding! :)
GUEST




We had our ceremony and reception at the Hotel Marlowe and it was a great experience. They were really easy to work with and everything came out wonderfully. The food was phenomenal. Everyone was raving about it. We worked with Maggie and she really helped us along. I highly recommend this venue.
GUEST




Maggie you are the greatest. You made this experience for my husband and I very smooth and calm, it was like walking along the beach. We appreciate everything you and your team have done for us. Again your service was amazing. Thank you.
GUEST




My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Hotel Marlowe on 5/29/10 and it exceeded all of our expectations. We chose the Venue because of the location, style, and value for our dollar. But we loved our experience because of the people we worked with, Jeanne MacGilvray wedding coordinator, the fantastic food, and first class execution.
Our Out-of-town guests who stayed at the Marlowe were amazed at all of the free amenities including a daily wine hour and free kayaks for the Charles River. Folks from the Boston area were impressed by the free valet parking!
From start to finish this wedding was set to impress and just about everyone who experienced it firsthand told either us or a member of our family it was the best wedding they ever attended.
We will be staying at the Hotel Marlowe for our anniversary and will continue to recommend it for anyone looking for a funky, fun, happening hotel for a great price!
GUEST




I got married at the Hotel Marlowe on 5/2/10. The wedding and reception exceeded our expectations. The staff (from the bell hop to the wedding coordinator, Maggie Kapler) were not only helpful and knowledgeable but also made us feel like family. Our package included the venue, the food, the cake, and a suite for my husband. There were many other perks as well. The price was affordable and the quality was unbeatable no matter how much we were willing to spend. Many guests have told me that this was the best wedding they had ever attended (even some married guest!). I plan to visit again for our one year anniversary! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married.
GUEST




I can't believe the last review. Everyone complimented the food at the Hotel Marlowe. Bad day maybe? We had a choice of 3 different plates for our guests. The chef even created a special vegetarian one from mine and Ericka's ideas when I wasn't thrilled with the original meal. We had our reception there and Ericka Mallen was amazing!!!!! And Bradley was great too. Ericka was so good with us and we were adding courses to our meal not on the menu, but she worked with us. It can be pricey, but it's worth it. Also, we had an open bar all night and the drinks were fantastic. The space is funky and by the water and the hotel is dog friendly--all the reasons we chose it. The linens and chairs are classy, and I know because I kept changing my mind, in which, again, Ericka made it all happen for me. I can't thank Ericka enough for all she did.
GUEST




Our experience with the Hotel Marlowe was absolutely fabulous. Both Maggie (event manager) and Bradley (catering manager) were great to work with. They had thought of everything and made everything run smoothly. We could just sit back and enjoy our event!
GUEST




My husband and I were married at The Hotel Marlowe in October, and we couldn't have imagined a more amazing night. Our wedding coordinator, Jeanne MacGilvray, and the Marlowe staff worked to make our entire experience absolutely perfect. Jeanne was so wonderful throughout all of the planning, she was extremely professional, took the time to get to know the rest of our family, and was always available with a suggestion or to help with anything at all that we needed. On our wedding day the staff literally took care of our every need, we didn't have to worry about a thing. All of our guests commented on the gorgeous hotel and the fantastic people. Everything was perfect, we couldn't have been happier!!
GUEST




Absoulutely wonderful! We were so happy with not only the event location, planning, and catering, but thrilled and continually happy with the staff. The friendly staff are what made this event so successful and easy for us to plan.
GUEST




Maggie Kapler and her team at Hotel Marlowe were spectacular. Their service and attention to detail were delivered beyond my expectations. Maggie is a tremendous leader and I can't imagine not having her around for such an important day in my life. I'm so grateful.
GUEST




Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! The staff at the Marlowe is first class, particularly the Assistant Banquet Manager, Bradley. Our guests repeatedly praised the high quality of service at the Marlowe. We would have our event there again in a heartbeat.
GUEST




The Hotel Marlowe was just absolutely incredible to work with. They helped us with details we never would have thought of ourselves. They were always responsive, worked through a munber of last minute changes with us with ease. Everything was fabulous and exactly the way we had hoped it would be. My husband and I would highly recommend them as a venue.
GUEST




I would highly recommend Hotel Marlowe for any any event. Service and quality was excellent from the initial phone inquiry to the finished event. And that included all aspects of the venue from the hotel staff to food/restaurant to the onsite coordinator. And all-around good experience.
GUEST




We recently had our wedding at the Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA and would highly recommend this venue for any couple that is looking for a venue for their wedding. The Hotel Marlowe provided a very unique, warm, inviting and romantic and luxurious setting for our wedding. We would highly recommend you look at their website!!
In addition, all their staff were extremely helpful and friendly both to us and our guests staying at the hotel. Kiralee, (their catering/event coordinator), was the best - she was extremely professional, accomdating, and quick to try to cater to our every need.
Again, we would highly recommend this place to all and had a wonderful wedding at this hotel!
GUEST




The Hotel Marlowe is a wonderful venue to have a wedding. The hotel itself is beautiful, with it's funky art deco design, winding staircase and lovely ballroom. A smaller and more intimate hotel in the midst of the city coupled with attentive and friendly staff. The food was fabulous and my guests are still raving about it. Everything was done to perfection. This wonderful day came together with the expert help of Kiralee Dugan, our wedding coordinator. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with - she pulled it all together with her attention to detail, professionalism, calm demeanor, patience and flexiblity. She was terrific!
GUEST




My husband and I recently got married at the Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge MA and we loved it! The Hotel Marlowe is an amazing location and had a some great outside spots for photos. The hotel is so warm and inviting and the staff is the friendliest I have ever met (our guests even mentioned that to us). We had our ceremony and reception onsite and everything went off seamlessly. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is out of this world. We have had guests raving about it since the wedding.
Kiralee Dugan (the wedding coordinator) was always pleasant and on the ball, we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. She made the planning so easy and fun, and always made us feel like we were the only bride and groom she was working with. We would HIGHLY recommend this location to anyone in the market.
GUEST




Kiralee was phenomenal to work with. She was very helpful with suggestions and answered all questions in a timely manner. She was also very open to my requests and played a major part in making my day exactly what I had always envisioned it to be. The entire staff at Hotel Marlowe was extremely helpful - all my of guests said it was a wedding they will never forget for all of the right reasons. Also - food got many rave reviews!
GUEST




Fantastic quality of service! Couldn't ask for anything more!
GUEST




The Hotel Marlowe and Kiralee, our event coordinator, was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we walked in to look at the hotel until the moment we checked out of the hotel the morning after the wedding, everything - and I mean everything, was easy and wonderful and beautiful and EXACTLY what we wanted. Kiralee helped us design the perfect wedding and every aspect of it was fabulous. She was a dream to work with as was all of the Marlowe staff. Our guests stayed at the hotel and we had a brunch the morning after- I can not emphasize enough just how great they were.
Over a year later and I still can't find anything to complain about. The food was fabulous, the room looked divine and my exacting NY relatives are still raving about the wedding... and that is not an easy accomplishment!
GUEST




Everything was absolutely amazing. Not one thing went wrong adn Kiralee our wedding organizer was amazing to work with and made sure that our wedding went perfectly as planned. Would recommend Hotl marlowe in a heartbeat to anyone. people still talk about it tio this day.
GUEST




We booked our wedding through Kiralee Dugan at Hotel Marlow who was wonderful! She was flexible, professional, and knew her stuff. I have recommened her and this hotel to a lot of friends. My out of town guests felt at home and the "living room" provided a space for everyone to gather at night and enjoy having everyone together. Kiralee was the consumate perfessional and gave us the best advice with respect to our monetary requirements and our expectations from vendors. Her upbeat and non-judgemental vibe made it so easy for us to be honest about what we wanted without fearing that our wedding planner would "poo-poo" it. She helped us prioritize our needs and we ended up getting everything we wanted (i.e. outdoors ceremony, indoor party, cultural traditions, et.) We loved the whole experience. She and the hotel made it the best day my life.
GUEST




They were mostly perfect! Only one complaint. 1) they took the challah away and didn't serve it like we asked them to.
GUEST




The Hotel Marlowe and its staff consistently exceeded our expectations. The venue was beautiful, the staff attentive, and our wedding planner Kiralee was amazing. Her guidance was valuable and much appreciated, but never intrusive. Most importantly she was incredibly fun to work with. I would highly suggest the Hotel Marlowe and Kiralee Dugan.

We at Murray Hill Talent have long been involved with events at Hotel Marlowe. Marlowe is the definitive boutique hotel in the Boston area. While hotels can often be stereotyped as cookie-cutter, Hotel Marlowe is anything but. The utmost attention to detail went into the design and decor of the entire hotel and guests are immediately transported to comfort and style upon entering. Their event space is colorful and inspired and their staff is second to none. In an industry where vendors are often overlooked at events, Hotel Marlowe takes care of their own and their guests and clients can expect stellar service at every turn.
We've worked at the Hotel Marlowe for many years now. Whether for breathtaking wedding day experiences or corporate events and receptions, the staff at the Marlowe are some of the most professional -- and nicest -- we've ever come across. Everyone has a can-do attitude. The recent upgrades to the venue's decor, both in and out of the formal function spaces, are impeccable. It is always a joy to spend a day providing entertainment services for the guests of the Hotel Marlowe, and we look forward to many more years of it.
Superb service and attention to detail.
