University Arms consists of 192 design-led bedrooms, complemented by Parker’s Tavern, a high-end, quintessentially British Restaurant and Bar, Library, and a stunning Ballroom. Set in the heart of Cambridge, University Arms is the ‘go to’ destination, alluring visitors with the promise of a sense of modern luxury.

There are few halls in Cambridge that compare with the grandeur and charm of the University Arms Ballroom — a wood-panelled room that belongs to our city’s heritage. Summer or winter, the Ballroom is the perfect space for large events, accommodating up to 200 seated guests. Our elegant & historic Ballroom, combined with Parker’s Tavern’s, delicious British food & beverage offering makes us one of the ‘go to’ destinations within Cambridge.

- You will have a passion for conferences and Events, along with a knowledge of hotel functions.
- Passion for hospitality - you’re all about creating memorable experiences for others.
- You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
