About the University Arms Hotel, Autograph Collection  

Following a comprehensive redesign by renowned architect John Simpson and interior designer Martin Brudnizki, University Arms Hotel, Autograph Collection has re-established itself as one of Cambridge's most remarkable destinations. The boutique hotel offers easy access to the university, as well as Newmarket Racecourse, IWM Duxford and the attractions of Cambridge city centre. Immaculate accommodation features charming Edwardian interiors with bespoke writing desks, luxury linens, complimentary Wi-Fi and an abundance of natural light. Some suites offer views over Parker's Piece. Elsewhere at the hotel, Chef Director Tristan Welch presides over Parker's Tavern, a Cambridge Institution for 185 years that serves innovative English cuisine in a university-inspired ambiance. Additional hotel amenities include an on-site fitness centre and a graceful ballroom venue with a fireplace and sweeping views.

AIRPORT AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION 

Heathrow Airport is approximately 110 KM from the hotel.  

There are several ways to travel from London Heathrow to Cambridge:

1. Take the Heathrow Express to London Paddington, then take the London Underground ("tube") to London Kings Cross.  You will need a Circle Line or Hammersmith and City train going Eastbound. From London Kings Cross, take the train to Cambridge. The Heathrow Express is quicker to go to central London than taking the tube all the way but does involve more changes.
