The University Arms hotel in Cambridge is scheduled to reopen autumn 2017 with 192 bedrooms.

This follows completion of an £80million refurbishment programme over the last two years.

The University Arms hotel is the oldest hotel in Cambridge. It opened originally as a coaching inn in the 1840s. The hotel was extended in the 1930s, and again in the 1960s.

The latest refurbishment will create a new classical frontage with the aim of restoring the hotel's prominence in the city.

When the works are completed the University Arms aims to be the premier hotel in Cambridge providing first class facilities with excellent new bedrooms, a destination restaurant, bar, gym and over 11,800 square metres of conference and events facilities.

The project should also enhance the relationship of the University Arms hotel with the street and the open space of Parker's Piece in Cambridge which it overlooks.
