Hotel at a Glance: The Westin Waltham Boston

Situated about 18 miles from Boston, this hotel in suburban Boston is close enough to the city for day trips but distant enough to have a more laid-back feel.

On-site food and beverage options are temporarily unavailable.

• Summer lives on thanks to the heated indoor pool (temporarily closed).
• Gourmet burgers and craft cocktails can be enjoyed with views of the Cambridge Reservoir at the hotel's restaurant.
• Quick bites: sandwiches and coffee in the café.
• Healthy habits: The 24-hour fitness center's gear includes Peloton bikes and a TRX Suspension Trainer system

Waltham, Massachusetts: Hub of Higher Education and Technology Outside Boston

Dating back to the early 19th century, Waltham has been at the center of Greater Boston’s industry and labor movements. It earned the nickname “Watch City” after the Waltham Watch Company—the first business to make timepieces on an assembly line—opened its factory here in 1854. Visitors can learn about that time-keeping heritage at the Waltham Museum.

Today, this city on the Charles River is best known as a hotbed of research and higher education. Several technology companies, including Raytheon, are headquartered here, and it’s also home to Brandeis University and Bentley University. On the weekend, scores of students pack into the breweries and restaurants on Moody Street downtown.
