The best luxury hotels in Cambridge
Cambridge is one of the oldest university cities in the world, attracting over 8 million visitors per year with its array of stunning colleges, River Cam, world-renown museums, beautiful open green spaces, cobbled streets and quirky shops. Some of the hotels are even attractions themselves with rich heritage and stunning views of the river. Others are funky and situated on the green belt in new developments of Cambridge. Whatever your reason for visiting Cambridge, here are our recommendations for the top hotels in Cambridge.
University
The grand old dame, The University Arms, which has been an institution for almost 200 years, reopened after an intensive renovation in August 2018. It serves innovative English cuisine in a university-inspired ambience, and additional hotel amenities include an on-site fitness centre.
Gonville Hotel
From Bikes to Bentleys, it’s more than a stay. At the Gonville Hotel, they believe that their “Experiences” help to set them apart in Cambridge. When you stay here, you can take a tour in a classic Bentley, ride round the city on a Gonville bike or enjoy pampering at their Wellness rooms.
The Graduate
Nestled on the banks of The River Cam, The Graduate is an idyllic retreat inspired by centuries of rich traditions, storied histories and academic life. Unrivalled views, seasonal culinary experiences and a cosy bar are just a few of the things that make Graduate Cambridge unique.
The Varsity
Overlooking the River Cam with only 48 uniquely designed rooms, each celebrating the cultural heritage of the city. The quirky artwork at the Varsity and special details in each room make it feel like a home away from home and contribute to a cosy warm atmosphere.
