University Arms
The University Arms in Cambridge, a historic jewel dating back to 1834, beckons with its blend of traditional Edwardian interiors and contemporary elegance. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Cambridge's City Centre, the hotel offers breathtaking vistas over Parker's Piece, historic Regent Street, and its tranquil inner courtyard from its 192 luxury rooms and suites spread across four floors.
This iconic hotel underwent an £80 million renovation in 2018, under the deft hands of classical architect John Simpson, elevating it to a modern-day sanctuary while preserving its rich historical essence. The redesign has repositioned the University Arms as a remarkable destination in Cambridge, with its interiors echoing a quintessentially British and Cambridge style. The rooms, awash with natural light, boast bespoke, leather-padded writing desks, low ottomans, and playful tiered chandeliers.
Boasting accolades such as being voted one of the top 5 hotels in the UK outside of London by Condé Nast Traveller and named one of Time Magazine’s top 100 places to visit in the world in 2019, the University Arms isn't just a hotel, but a landmark that enriches Cambridge's local landscape and hospitality offering.
With its classical charm, modern luxuries, and venerable history, the University Arms isn't merely a place to stay; it's an experience that transports guests to a world where the past and present coalesce.
