Click for travel directionsThe Crowne Plaza Hotel occupies an enviable location on Downing Street in the heart of Cambridge city centre. The hotel is a large, imposing building that offers much to visitors to Cambridge, whether their visit is for business or for pleasure. The Crowne Plaza’s location means the historic university town of Cambridge and all of its wonderful attractions are at your very fingertips.

The University of Cambridge is the second oldest university in the English-speaking world, having been formed by academics fleeing Oxford in the early 13th century. The establishment of Cambridge University and its 31 colleges over the following centuries shaped the town into the delightful place it is today.

Cambridge is also dominated by the River Cam, which meanders gently through the town and is crossed by several classic bridges such as Magdalene Bridge and Newton’s Mathematical Bridge. The Cam, and Cambridge itself, are perhaps best explored by punt – the flat-bottomed boats that are propelled by pole and can be seen by the dozen on the Cam in the summer months.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel makes a great central base for visitors to Cambridge. There are 198 stylish and well-equipped guest rooms, with superior rooms and suites for an added touch of luxury. The Crowne Plaza’s restaurant is also an impressive affair, serving an eclectic selection of beautifully prepared international cuisine, while the relaxed lounge bar is a stylish venue in which to enjoy drinks until late and lighter meals.

There are four well-appointed conference rooms at the Crowne Plaza Cambridge, capable of accommodating up to 300 delegates while at the end of a long day’s business or sightseeing around Cambridge, the hotel’s fitness room allows guests to let off steam, while the sauna and solarium provide a haven of relaxation.
