About this space

The Ballroom is a space that can also cater to more intimate events. A solid oak partitioning wall divides the Ballroom into our Crick and Watson rooms, named after James Watson and Francis Crick who made the groundbreaking discovery, the structure of DNA, 'the secret to life' here in Cambridge in 1953. The sense of elegance without pomposity, of intimacy over corporate formality, is unusual for Cambridge.

Accommodates events for up to 90 people. Ideal event space for Executive Meetings, Academic Lectures, Networking Events, Private Dinners and more.

Our style is undeniably British and quintessentially Cambridge. Classic Edwardian interiors are combined with bespoke, leather-padded writing desks, low ottomans, and tiered chandeliers in playful colours and rooms full of natural light. The result is ambitious, beautiful, and full of life.

Our hotel offers 189 luxury rooms and suites across four floors, with views over Parker’s Piece, historic Regent Street, and the hotel’s inner courtyard.
