University Arms Hotel, Autograph Collection

In the heart of the city, the University Arms Hotel is Cambridge’s luxury leading hotel and its oldest. Overlooking Parker’s Piece, the best known of the city’s open spaces, the hotel is perfectly located for memorable business meetings and events. With capacity for up to 200 delegates, this is one to book for conferences, product launches, training workshops and team building days, awards ceremonies, banquets, and champagne receptions.

Edwardian style interiors combine the quintessential Cambridge character and the modern, with vibrant colours and plenty of natural light. Hire The Ballroom with its elegant wood panelling and enormous stained-glass windows, for functions for up to 200 guests in theatre style or for a standing reception. It seats 180 for a banquet, 120 in cabaret layout, or 56 in U-shape.

A solid oak dividing wall in the Ballroom gives the option of two smaller spaces; The Crick seats 96 theatre style, 80 dining, 68 in cabaret arrangement or 32 in U-shape, and the slightly smaller Watson, seats 70, 60, 40 and 24 in the same respective layouts.

There’s a built-in sound system and additional AV equipment can be arranged to suit your event; talented in-house chefs will create bespoke menus for you and a well-polished events team will help to organise your event and make sure all runs smoothly.

The University Arms Hotel has 189 bedrooms, a restaurant and treatment rooms. Cambridge Railway station is just a short walk away and central London is under an hour by train.
