Fodor's Expert Review Graduate Cambridge

Mill Lane, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 1RT, England

Tucked away behind the Fitzwilliam Museum on the banks of the River Cam, the Graduate Cambridge is in the perfect location for exploring the city. Beyond the idyllic setting, where punters drift by in a steady stream, the hotel's charms extend to its refined public spaces, including the excellent Garden House restaurant. A spectacular array of restored punts are nailed to the walls around the lobby and staircase, offering the finest example of the hotel's unapologetic desire to remind guests of the glories of Cambridge. Comfortable rooms hark to the city's studious leanings, designed to conjure romantic notions of nostalgia with their wood paneling, writers' bureaus, and Voysey-esque headboards.
