The sophisticated folks in Cambridge, Massachusetts have a stylish new neighbor. Le Méridien Cambridge opened its doors in December, ushering in a new era of luxury to a city known for its prestigious universities and research firms. The hotel anchors University Park at MIT, just minutes from Back Bay and Harvard Square, and it's a great home base from which to explore the best that Cambridge has to offer. The nearby Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, for example, is one of the oldest museums of its kind in the world, while the Longfellow National Historic Site occupies the home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) and contains memorabilia about the writer as well as the home's earlier occupant, George Washington. Yep, lots of history in this town. When you're ready for a bite, dig into the city's most succulent Middle Eastern fare at Oleana, followed by a refreshment at quirky People's Republik, a pub adorned with communist kitsch and posters, and you'll start to get an idea of what Cambridge is all about. Take advantage of a special Grand Opening offer and earn double Starpoints at Le Méridien Cambridge when you stay before March 31, 2008.
