Established in 1994, Parkside has welcomed guests in all seasons of the year. Its distinctive hospitality is based upon - your room away from home… for travelers to the Cambridge and Boston area. One guest put it, “just like home, but better” another puts it, “the comforts of home… the privacy of a hotel” and still another, “European ambiance and Yankee hospitality.” However you experience it, Parkside will allow you to visit, work or vacation in a special way.

The Parkside on Ellery house was erected in 1865, during the post Civil War era. Antiques, decorations, and furniture from the 19th, 20th, and 21st Centuries offer accommodation choices. Three unique suites all feature private entrances, private baths, comfortable sleeping, internet access and interesting décor.

Activities and attractions are abundant in the area. With all the local history and the area’s charm, time spent here is a delightful and memorable experience. Guests are just minutes away from the Harvard University campus, subway access to Boston in Harvard Square and just a day trip away from the coastal towns of Cape Cod, and the north shore. Whatever the reason for a visit, Parkside on Ellery is the place to stay in Harvard Square.

Upon the arrival of guests, a few minutes of time are taken to make the guests familiar with their “room away from home” as well as the immediate Harvard Square area. If an additional interest is mentioned, we help to find an answer. Continental breakfast in the room allows guests to casually gather their thoughts, plan their day or watch the morning news while having a cup of our excellent coffee.
