Cambridge is a city built on secrets, kept behind stone archways, in locked reading rooms, and in gardens most visitors never see past the gate. Discover the hidden stories and intellectual treasures behind Cambridge with University Arms' stay and experience package. Work directly with the hotel's Chief Concierge to craft a bespoke itinerary that takes you behind the scenes at secret College gardens, into the archives of Newton and Darwin, or on an exclusive, expert-led tour of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.
This experience offers guests rare access to the secret past of a living city bridging the gap between centuries-old lore and Cambridge's vibrant modern culture. Every itinerary is different, shaped entirely around what draws you in: the architecture, the archives, the aviators, or the alleyways. Whatever door you want opened, we know who holds the key.
What's included?
University Arms Cambridge, re-created in 2018 by architect John Simpson and interior designer Martin Brudnizki, offers 189 rooms and suites across four floors, with views over Parker’s Piece, historic Regent Street, and the hotel’s inner courtyard.
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. Join us in our English brassie restaurant to enjoy a romantic evening over whimsical dishes sourced by Cambridgeshire field and fen.
