Cambridge Regatta Hotel

Situated just a 10 minutes’ drive from the finish line, The Varsity Hotel is the best of both worlds. As a Cambridge city centre hotel, we are the closest hotel to 10 of the colleges and only a short walk from the remaining colleges, making The Varsity ideal for sight-seeing and shopping, punting and nightlife.

Our 44 luxury bedrooms are uniquely designed, celebrating the cultural aspects of City of Cambridge. Many rooms feature underfloor heating, walk-in monsoon showers or freestanding baths, not to mention luxurious beds and outstanding cityscape views.

Residents also receive complimentary passes for full use of our spa and gym. An oasis of calm in the city, The Glassworks Gym and Studio is fully equipped with the latest cardiovascular and weights machines, while daily classes help you keep on track. Relax after your workout in our sauna, steam room or our jacuzzi overlooking the river.

Our rooftop bar and brasserie, SIX, boasts stunning views of the Cambridge skyline, the River Cam and across the cities key colleges including St. John’s, Trinity, Jesus and Magdalene. Serving a wide range of delicious meals and classic cocktails, we use fresh, locally sourced ingredients where possible, bringing you the very finest in culinary delights.

With freshly made finger sandwiches, scones served deliciously warm accompanied by clotted cream, jam and of course a selection of cakes and our speciality tea selection created by our master blenders, Afternoon Tea at The Varsity Hotel really is something to be savoured.
