US: New England-based development and management company Lark is set to debut Cambridge Common House, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Located just outside Harvard Square at 2 Garden Street, the 16-room property will open in late 2025. Rooms have been designed by Elder & Ash.

“We have long flirted with the possibility of opening a concept in Greater Boston, and I’m thrilled that it’s
finally coming to fruition,” said Rob Blood, founder and chairman of Lark. “This space has an inherent charm and historic roots in Harvard Square, starting as a private residence designed by Cambridge’s William Saunders, and eventually serving as student housing for undergrads. It’s an honour to guide it into its next iteration.”

Lark is a leading operator of boutique hotels under 150 keys in North America. Lark combines a “tech-forward ethos, hands-on development expertise, and people-first culture to maximize profitability for
small to mid-sized hotels”.

It says its portfolio of around 75 independent spirited properties delivers “compelling guest experiences through distinctive branding, local storytelling, and thoughtful, place-based design”.

Lark’s branded hotel collections include its signature Lark Hotels, Bluebird by Lark, Blind Tiger Guest Houses, AWOL, and Life House. The group also manages independent hotels across a diverse range of markets.
