Our Picks — Cambridge
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.
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.
City Centre
A well-positioned independent hotel directly opposite Parker's Piece park, recently renovated to deliver contemporary rooms with good amenities and a rooftop bar with city views. Excellent value for its central location.
Trumpington Street
Occupying a handsome Victorian building on Trumpington Street near the Fitzwilliam Museum, Hotel du Vin delivers its reliable formula of wine-themed rooms, roll-top baths, and a consistently good bistro restaurant. Well placed for the southern Backs and Fitzwilliam.
City Centre
A characterful conversion of a former coaching inn on the edge of the central market, The Crown offers well-appointed rooms in a building with genuine Cambridge history. Steps from King's College and the Market Square.
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.
