UNIVERSITY ARMS, CAMBRIDGE - Opening late Autumn 2017
March 17thCambridge
UNIVERSITY ARMS, CAMBRIDGE is a landmark hotel located in the historic centre of Cambridge overlooking Parker’s Piece. First opened in 1834 as the city’s original hotel, it will relaunch in late Autumn 2017 after a complete transformation following a unique collaboration between the architect John Simpson and the interior designer Martin Brudnizki. Independently owned and managed, the hotel’s transformation will bring a world-class hotel to Cambridge for the first time. The hotel will be quintessentially English and the literary and academic spirit of Cambridge will be one of its defining characteristics. The redevelopment includes the replacement of the building’s 1960s and 1970s extensions with an attractive, new classically designed building that fits with Cambridge’s better-known architectural heritage and buildings in the immediate vicinity. The hotel will comprise 192 beautiful and ‘playfully’ designed new hotel rooms and suites, a destination restaurant and bar, library, underground valet car parking and fitness facilities. In addition, a public art project will be unveiled in the Summer on Parker’s Piece to celebrate the hotel historical location and significance to the local community.
