About Our Rooms

North Tower

North TowerOur fourth-floor penthouse overlooking the Charles River and M.I.T.

 

Aerie

AerieOur little nest on the fourth floor. It has a commanding view of Beacon Street with all the brownstone row house with their copper towers and slate roofs that Boston's Back Bay is famous for.

 

Victoria

VictoriaVictoria is on the third floor. Have a cup of tea in front of the fireplace or in the charming French Cafe area, or sit in the bow window and enjoy the third-floor view of Beacon Street and the Prudential Center.

 

Riverview

RiverviewRiverview doesn't quite say it all. Yes, it does have a great view of Cambridge, MIT, and the Charles River, but a lot of effort was put into the details to create an "Arts and Craft" period decor.

 

Sanctuary

SanctuarySanctuary is decorated in a neo-gothic theme and one of our coziest suites.

 

The Garden

The GardenThe Garden is the smallest accommodation at the Gryphon House with all of the amenities of our larger suites.
