AC Hotel Boston Cambridge
Stylish Cambridge tapas and a 24/7 gym
About this hotel
The AC Hotel brings genuine style to the corridor, chic rooms and suites set inside a modern research campus, with a terrace lounge serving tapas that gives the group somewhere better than a standard hotel bar for a first-night drink. The 24/7 gym works for a group with scattered tee times across the week, and Alewife Bistro sits two minutes' walk away for a casual dinner within the same campus setting. Belmont is a seven-minute taxi ride for anyone wanting a quieter neighborhood detour, and at twenty-four minutes to Logan, the airport run beats most of the Newton and Waltham cluster. This property leans toward travelers who want a design-forward Cambridge stay layered onto the golf trip rather than a purely functional base built around tee times alone.

Our take
I like the AC Hotel for a group that wants evenings to feel like part of the trip: a terrace lounge with tapas, a 24/7 gym and an indoor pool give it more character than a standard suburban stop. The run to Logan is shorter than from most hotels near Brae Burn. I would choose a Newton-area hotel instead if the group wants the shortest daily drive to the course, since Cambridge adds time on golf days.
- Use the 24/7 gym around scattered tee times rather than working the schedule around fixed hotel gym hours.
- Start the evening at the terrace lounge for tapas before deciding on dinner elsewhere in Cambridge.
- Factor in the extra drive to Brae Burn's Newton neighborhood, since this campus setting sits further from it than Waltham.

Why guests love itI would choose the AC Hotel Boston Cambridge for a golf group that wants a stylish base with something to do after the round. The terrace lounge serves tapas, the gym is open around the clock and the indoor pool works in any weather. Its modern research campus setting near Alewife is seven minutes from Belmont and twenty-four from Logan, a shorter airport run than most of the area. Rated 8.4 from 960 reviews, it is a polished 4-star option.
