ABOUT US
University Arms is a 192-bedroom design-led Hotel situated in the heart of Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Overlooking Parker's Piece is the Hotel's quintessentially British Restaurant and Bar, Parker's Tavern, Library Lounge and beautiful wood panelled Ballroom.

Opened in 1834 as a Coaching Inn, University Arms is Cambridge's oldest Hotel.

For 180 years the Hotel was added to, updated and modernised in the line with the age, however, it was the reopening in 2018 after a four-year £80m full renovation that really positioned the Hotel.
