Unique Central Location and Full-Service Facilities

Our city centre location is unique, being the closest Cambridge hotel to St John’s, Trinity, Jesus and Magdalene Colleges. Hotel rooms are centred and named after the Colleges, providing a warm introduction to Cambridge’s bold history.

With 48-uniquely designed rooms, each celebrating the cultural heritage of the city. Quirky artwork and special details in each room make this feel like a home away from home, contributing to a cosy warm atmosphere. With all rooms receiving a refurbishment in 2024, designed with GP & J Baker along with newly added Smart TVs, these provide the ultimate relaxing stay.

Upgrade your stay with an Elemis treatment in one of our 8 treatment rooms with our experienced therapists or visit our Aveda Hair Salon with our talented hairdressers. Hotel guests also receive complimentary access to our gym, daily fitness classes, SPA Pool, Sauna and Steam Room in our Glassworks Health Club located in the adjoining building to the hotel.
