KNOWN as a city rich in history and architecture and being home to one of the world’s most famous universities, it’s no surprise that Cambridge is a sought-after destination both internationally and locally. There’s a certain cosy charm in this city that makes it so different from frenetic London, plus an abundance of eateries and sights to see.
Hilton Cambridge City Centre exterior
Hilton Cambridge City Centre, as the name suggests, is conveniently located in the hub of it all. Just a short stroll away, you can find yourself in front of the city’s well-known sights such as the River Cam and the Cambridge Market Square, as well as transport links to attractions further afield.
Bull & Bass restaurant
All 198 flawlessly elegant guest rooms and suites at Hilton Cambridge are air conditioned and include the essential modern amenities. For my stay in one of the King Suites, I am welcomed by a fruit basket and wine, along with a mini-fridge stocked with soft drinks and snacks, a Nespresso machine for those well needed coffee top-ups, and robes and slippers for lounging in ultimate comfort.
King Junior Suite
In addition to its welcoming rooms, the hotel also offers culinary delights, ranging from a fresh breakfast buffet to dinner in the relaxing atmosphere of the Bull & Bass Restaurant, where dishes are inspired by British cuisine.
After a day of exploring the city, this is the place I am happily drawn to. After enjoying a delectable meal, I find myself ensconced in the irresistible Piano Bar, with its comfy seating and live music. It’s not long before I am sinking into my chair, enjoying music from the resident pianist and winding down for the night.
