Luxury Accommodation in Cambridge City Centre

Wake up in a room with a view

Creation is an activity, part of which takes place in sleep

Author, E. M. Forster

University Arms Cambridge, re-created in 2018 by architect John Simpson and interior designer Martin Brudnizki, offers 192 rooms and suites across four floors, with views over Parker’s Piece, historic Regent Street, and the hotel’s inner courtyard. The architecture and interiors are undeniably British and grounded in the Edwardian era – that exciting first decade of the 20th century where modernity began to tease tradition. At University Arms, this duality is manifested in spacious rooms full of natural light and a décor that features bespoke, leather-padded writing desks, low ottomans and tiered chandeliers in playful colours. The result is ambitious, beautiful and full of life.

10 Rooms, From 38 sq m | 290 sq ft

Our Unique Suites

Offering large sitting areas, replete with unmatched views of Parker’s Piece, our Suites are named after Cambridge-affiliated authors and alumni and are individually curated around their namesakes.

61 Rooms, From 25 sq m | 269 sq ft

Superior Rooms

Superior rooms impress with their proportions and presentation. The Edwardian-inspired interior is complemented by rich and vibrant furnishings that offset the room’s spaciousness, creating an inviting warmth.

From here comes illumination and the imbibing of sacred knowledge

Our Book Butler will handpick a selection of books from our beautifully designed Heywood Hill curated library, to be hand-delivered to your room on a silver platter.

Delightful classics available in all our rooms...
