The Centennial Hotel is a boutique, independently run hotel occupying six beautifully preserved century old townhouses on Hills Road, Cambridge. Refurbished in 2021, the hotel blends traditional Cambridge character with contemporary interiors, offering individually designed en-suite rooms across a range of categories to suit leisure and business travellers alike.
Ideally situated opposite the University of Cambridge Botanic Gardens and within easy walking distance of the railway station, the city centre, the river, and the university colleges, the Centennial makes an excellent base for exploring everything Cambridge has to offer. Guests benefit from a Bar & Restaurant open seven days a week which offers seasonally crafted menus by our chefs, using local ingredients wherever possible. A large residents’ lounge with a Cambridge-painted mural for planning routes around the city, conference facilities and free private on-site car parking—a genuine rarity in central Cambridge.
