Patterned grandeur by Cambridge Station

Inside, contemporary design meets rich Persian touches in a playful mix of patterns, textures, and historic references. The double-height lobby sets the tone with a statement chandelier, spiral staircase, and bold hexagon-tile floor, then settles into a buzzing bar beside a warm brasserie-style restaurant. Guest rooms keep the mood going with Cambridge-blue palettes, dark wood panelling, polished concrete, and a whimsical teapot set.
