About us

NEWLY RENOVATED EVENT SPACE Kimpton Marlowe Hotel - overlooking Boston is located 5 minutes away from downtown Boston in Cambridge, adjacent to the Museum of Science and Charles River. The hotel offers the perfect venue for meetings up to 300 people with catering menu selections featuring seasonal, fresh flavors from our destination restaurant. Kimpton Marlowe Hotel resembles walking into a luxurious fantasy storybook, where a willingness to suspend judgment fosters a curious exploration. We welcome guests to daydream on a bench in our enchanting courtyard, to get immersed in a book on our outdoor patio or to engage with new friends over a glass of wine in our rich, romantic living room or bustling Bambara Kitchen + Bar restaurant. Our intuitive staff members stay two steps ahead, catering to your every need whether you’re here on a friend-fueled vacation or inspiring business retreat. We offer pampering amenities and thoughtful perks that ensure your time in our Cambridge home proves comfortable, luxurious and—much like this city—thought-provoking, stimulating and endlessly full of awe. Our guests’ curiosities are piqued from the moment they enter our welcoming courtyard, which happens to showcase a 25-foot-tall sculpture named Celeste that moves and lights up. Based upon this awe-inspiring first impression, it quickly becomes clear that we encourage a sense of discovery and exploration that perfectly complements our storied Boston home. Visitors immediately learn to love our riverside Cambridge hotel’s decadent and engaging and intuitive style and level of service that elevates the experience time and again.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
