Cambridge
Cambridgeshire , United Kingdom (UK)
A picturesque, charming city steeped in learning, architecture and history. It’s home to two world-class art museums and one of the world’s oldest and most famous universities.
Recommended place to stay:
Cambridge’s hippest address, the Varsity sits on the banks of the River Cam, and envelops guests into the city’s rich academic history.
Each room is named after a college, and has decorations connected with famous alumni – from paintings of Wordsworth to photos of T E Lawrence. All boast floor-to-ceiling windows, offering lovely views over the river towards the city centre.
But the biggest draw here is Six Bar & Restaurant; spread across the roof of the hotel, with spectacular views of the colleges and city skyline.
There’s a second restaurant – the River Bar Steakhouse – set on a quay right by the water; both are hugely popular with the student population – book in advance to get a table, particularly on the roof.
Tucked away on quiet Thompsons Lane, the Varsity is actually the city’s most central hotel, just moments from busy Bridge Street, home to many of the beautiful university colleges.
Quaint cobbled passages link the busy streets that throng with students whizzing around on bikes, and if it all gets a little hectic, the banks of the river Cam – just outside the hotel’s door – are a great bet for a tranquil stroll.
Please note - we hope to one day have live prices for you, but for now, here are some useful links for you to compare prices...
