Hotel Veritas Is Busy With Harvard Parents But Still Has Rooms For Labor Day

Where: 1 Remington Street [map], Cambridge, MA, United States, 02138

It's move-in week at Harvard, and Cambridge's newest boutique hotel is brimming with proud parents. But forget Back to School for a second—we still have summer holidays on our minds, and a few of our Twitter followers asked us about hotels available for Labor Day in Boston. The good news is: the kids will be settled in by then, the folks back at home, and Hotel Veritas has rooms available for the holiday weekend.

Queens (like the one pictured here) are $199 a night, Kings $219 and Doubles $239.

Hotel Veritas To Open in Cambridge on May 23

Where: 1 Remington Street [map], Cambridge, MA, United States, 02138

Doesn't this look cozy? What we're looking at here is the Simple Truth Lounge inside The Hotel Veritas. And just like your term paper, it's running a tiny bit late—not too much, of course, professor. The boutique has gone from a potential May 17 opening date to a May 19 date, and now apparently, May 23 is the big day.

We're certainly keen to have a new place to pop into when wandering around Cambridge pretending we're smart, and the Simple Truth Lounge looks like it would be most inviting on a crisp fall evening with a glass of vino in hand.

Hotel Veritas in Cambridge to Open May 17

Where: 1 Remington Street [map], Cambridge, MA, United States, 02138

When we last checked in with the GM of Cambridge's new indie 30-room property, Hotel Veritas was on track to open by about May 15. But if the dates on the online rezzie system are right, the first date you can book is actually May 17.

As for the room rates? Well, let's just say that if you (or moms and pops) can afford that Harvard tuition, you can probably spring for a room here as well. Regular rates start at $379 a night for a Queen, and $399 for a King.

Is Boston's Hotel Veritas Still Opening in May?

Where: 1 Remington Street [map], Cambridge, MA, United States, 02138

We've been curious about The Hotel Veritas for awhile now, especially after the GM told us that decor would be "as if a hip couple inherited their great aunt’s Cambridge home and made it their own." But when exactly does the hip couple ... er, us guests, get to finally check it out?

Back in the winter the ETA was March, give or take a few weeks, and then we heard May. What's the latest?

Cambridge Hotels: Grandma Versus the Rest of Us

[Photo: CutterNutter]

Monica Guy is fed up with the old guard hotels of the U.K. that may have entertained her grandparents when they were tripping all over the world in their youth but have since been lasting on reputation and little else. In this new feature, she pits her grandma's favorite hotel against some of the new hip hotels popping up across the rainy motherland. Enjoy.

Yesterday you were in Oxford, today you've taken your grandparents to Cambridge. Running a tour of the boffin towns. But where will you all stay?
