Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States · Le Méridien · Near Luxury
What is now Le Méridien began in 1998 as Hotel@MIT, a university-backed experiment whose lobby displayed robots from MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The 210-room hotel still stands inside University Park, a former industrial district remade by MIT, Forest City, and Cambridge with research laboratories at its doorstep. Central Square is three blocks away, but the story here is the institute next door.

History
MIT and Forest City Enterprises developed the hotel as part of University Park, and it opened in 1998 as Hotel@MIT. Its original high-tech identity included robots from the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and rooms named for institute figures. The partners sold the 210-room hotel to an HEI Hotels affiliate in 2007, after which it became Le Méridien.
The setting
The hotel is at 20 Sidney Street in University Park, on the western edge of MIT's campus and about three blocks from Central Square station.
