Centennial Hotel

About

The Centennial Hotel is an inviting boutique hotel set in a row of historic townhouses on Cambridge’s thriving Hills Road. Refurbished to modern standards in 2020, the property blends the charm of 19th‑century Cambridge brick with contemporary furnishings, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests. From the moment you step into the understated lobby, you’ll discover a host of thoughtfully designed rooms, ranging from Standard to Deluxe twin and family suites, all featuring en‑suite bathrooms, smart TVs, free Wi‑Fi and comfortable king‑size beds. Location is one of the hotel’s strongest assets: a short 10‑ to 15‑minute walk takes you to the University Botanic Gardens, Cambridge Railway Station, Kings College, and the Fitzwilliam Museum. The private car park situated beneath the archway at Hills Road is free for all guests, making it an ideal base for both business travelers and tourists exploring the city’s historic sights. Hospitality is central to the Centennial’s brand. The hotel offers a range of services – reception available 24 hours, free parking, complimentary tea and coffee, and a well‑appointed Bar & Restaurant that serves a daily set menu of British and French cuisine at £25 per person between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Guests also enjoy a lounge, a conference room equipped with AV facilities, and a hand‑painted mural map that provides route suggestions across Cambridge. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed stay near the city centre, a convenient spot for conference events, or a cosy evening at the Bar & Restaurant, the Centennial Hotel delivers a blend of historic ambience, modern comfort, and genuinely friendly service that impresses both first‑time visitors and seasoned travellers alike.
