Graduate Cambridge
from Spring 2023 Preview
by Bryan Ashley
As the first Graduate Hotel to open in Britain, this 4-star boutique 148-room hotel has the best views in Cambridge and is surrounded by the beautiful River Cam. The hotel’s design is “rooted in storytelling” and acknowledges Cambridge’s rich history including a giant hanging model of the DNA double helix - in celebration of Rosalind Franklin who helped uncover the secrets of DNA at the University. Splashes of Cambridge Blue adorn the guestrooms along with bedside built-ins in the design of iconic punt boats while classic desks give each room a studious feel. Beyond the guestrooms, the team at Bryan Ashley also crafted various tables, benches, sofas, and lounge chairs throughout The Garden House, bar, lounge, and public space areas.
