Accommodation
Borne of feasting yet of our time, our restaurant is a meeting place, a confluence of old and new where university hall meets velvet-upholstered club. Enjoy the freshest East Anglian produce on every plate and return to good, unpretentious British cooking.

The University Arms Hotel and Parker’s Piece have been the location of choice for great feasts and celebrations throughout Cambridge’s history. The same celebratory spirit that brought 15,000 people onto the green for Queen Victoria’s Coronation in 1838 remains to this day — whether a graduation party in Parker’s Tavern, a board meeting in the library, or a conference in the Ballroom.

Get ready for one of Cambridge’s most anticipated running events with our Cambridge Half Marathon Hub. Whether you’re a competitor, supporter or visitor, you’ll find the best local routes, places to eat, and where to stay in the heart of the city. Make University Arms your base for unrivalled comfort and exceptional hospitality this race weekend.
