Harvard Square's original hotel, The Sheraton Commander, opened in 1927. The Commander is situated on historic Cambridge Common, near the site where George Washington took control of the Continental Army in 1775. Our history does not stop there. In our George Washington Ballroom, John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Congress of the United States, and some years later, his nephew, Joseph Kennedy Jr. announced his candidacy in the same magnificent ballroom. The Sheraton Commander Hotel has a style and grace uncommon in contemporary hotels. The Mt. Vernon inspired entrance, the finely detailed and crafted architecture of our lobby, and warm welcome of our staff has elevated the Commander to its rightful place as one of Cambridge's charming traditions.
