About University Arms
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.
