Hyatt Regency Cambridge

The Hyatt Regency Cambridge, at 575 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was host to Gaylaxicon in 2005 and Arisia in 2007. Arisia will be returning in at least 2008, and is pencilled in for 2009 and 2010.

The hotel is built around a central atrium, and is pyramid-shaped.

Function Space

About 30,000 square feet of function space, including a 3-season function tent, are found on floors 1, 2, 10, 14, and 16.

Guest Rooms

469 guest rooms, including 10 suites, are found on floors 2-15 (there is no floor 13).

Elevators

There are six elevators: four passenger and two service. All have recently been uprated, except that as of January 2007, work on one of the passenger elevators is not complete.

Elevators 1-4 are identical high speed traction glass passenger elevators with capacity of 3000 lbs, 8'0" elevator door height, 8'5" inside ceiling height, and irregular shape. Note: the width given refers to elevator door width; inside cab width is about 5 inches wider. Doors are not centered on the cabs. Elevators 1-4 travel from floors 1 to 16.

Elevators 5 and 6 are service elevators, 55" deep by 80" wide, with 42" wide by 84" high centered elevator door. Elevator 5 travels from the basement to floor 14. Elevator 6 travels from the basement to floor 15.

Hotel staff can lock off floors and turn on and off call response. If a floor is locked off, elevators with call response enabled will still respond to calls from that floor.
