Sheraton Commander Hotel

George Washington, America's first commander-in-chief still inspires the Sheraton Commander Hotel, a 1927 Harvard Square landmark in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near where General Washington took command of the Continental Army. Period charm extends from the Mount Vernon style entryway to the 175 guest rooms, including 23 suites, which feature all-white bedding, dual-line speakerphone with voicemail, and high-speed Internet access. The intimate 16 Garden Street restaurant offers New England cuisine and an extensive wine list.

A recent renovation restored the Sheraton Commander's George Washington and Mount Vernon ballrooms to their vintage splendor. Meeting planners select from six function rooms and 7,147 square feet for business meetings and corporate events to 436. Boston's favorite incentives within five miles include Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Fenway Park, the Peabody Museum, and the historic Freedom Trail.
