Graduate Cambridge
If you're looking for a riverside setting to add to the ambience of your event, take a look at the Graduate Cambridge. It's the only city centre hotel on the River Cam, a wonderful setting for romantic weddings, but equally good for parties and soirees, and for business meetings and events for up to 250 guests.
The 7 flexible meeting spaces cover all kinds of small to medium sized events, from conferences, seminars, training days, and awards presentations to team building, networking receptions, and private dining. All rooms have air con, complimentary wifi, and cutting-edge audio-visual technology. You'll have the services of a dedicated events manager right from the outset, and menus and meetings packages can be tailored to suit your requirements.
The Granta is the biggest suite with 1,716 square feet of space that accommodates 250 theatre, 150 people standing, or 144 dining and 80 in classroom arrangement. The Cam seats 60 in theatre style or dining, or book it for a drinks reception for 80; the Rhee holds 40 in theatre style or standing and 24 for private dining for 24. Of a similar size, the Cayley holds 40 for a party or a banquet, or hire it for meetings for 20 in conference layout. The Bourn, Lark and PDR are perfect for executive meetings for up to 14. The picturesque gardens can be booked for summer events – outdoor drinks receptions, hog roasts and the like, and are great for team building days; punting hire and tours can be arranged from the hotel, and you know what they say - when in Rome...
Overnight delegates can sleep in contemporary comfort, with over 138 bedrooms and suites, all with air con, flatscreen TVs, a work desk and easy chair. Some rooms have balconies and river views, which makes for an inspiring start to the day.
