The Royal Sonesta is located right on the Charles River and offers some lovely views of Boston. If you're looking to explore the city, this is a good starting point. It is ten minutes on foot from the green line's Lechmere stop and fifteen minutes from the red line's Kendall/MIT. Nearby, you'll find many very Boston attractions: the beautiful Charles River and the Boston skyline, the Museum of Science (“a testament to our region’s proud tradition of rational inquiry”), MIT, so much biotech, and at least one Dunkin’ Donuts.
