- Qué tiene: Riverside · Rooftop terrace · Spa and gym

A hotel beside the Cam, on Thompson's Lane, with a spa, gym, sixth-floor brasserie and rooftop terrace above the Cambridge roofs.

The house
A modern brick hotel by the river, at the northern end of the centre, a step from Bridge Street and the Quayside landing stage. What sets it apart is the rooftop: a terrace with views over the roofs and towers of Cambridge, and the brasserie Six, on the sixth floor. Downstairs, on the banks of the Cam, the River Bar Steakhouse.
The rooms and the spa
Contemporary rooms and suites, many with river or city views. The spa has a gym, sauna, steam room and hot tub, something rare in the centre of a small city. On its website, rates start at £149 a night.
Getting there
From the station, about 25–30 minutes' walk or a ten-minute taxi ride. The historic centre is a five-minute walk along Bridge Street, passing the Round Church. If you come by car, check the parking page on its website before you arrive.
