Huntingdon Road
A handsome Victorian mansion set in two acres of grounds to the northwest of the city, Hotel Felix delivers a country house experience within easy cycling distance of the university. The Graffiti restaurant with its chef's theatre kitchen is outstanding.
Midsummer Common
While primarily Cambridge's most celebrated restaurant (two Michelin stars), Midsummer House also offers exquisite rooms in a beautiful Victorian villa on Midsummer Common beside the Cam. A once-in-a-visit experience for serious food lovers.
City Centre
Fully reinvented by designer John Simpson in 2018, the University Arms is now Cambridge's finest hotel — a stately Victorian facade opening onto modern rooms of real quality, all overlooking Parker's Piece or the city. The Parker's Tavern restaurant has earned considerable acclaim.
River
A contemporary boutique hotel directly on the River Cam with a rooftop terrace offering some of the most spectacular views of the college Backs in Cambridge. The spa and sixth-floor outdoor terrace make it a genuinely special choice.
City Centre
A stylish, contemporary hotel in a converted Victorian building with a fresh, light design aesthetic, courtyard garden, and one of Cambridge's best brunches. A strong choice for those who want modern comfort in a historic setting.
Hills Road
A charming Victorian townhouse hotel on Hills Road offering comfortable rooms with genuine B&B warmth at notably competitive prices. A 15-minute walk or short bus ride from the city centre — excellent value for Cambridge.
