A new hotel has opened in the heart of Cambridge with the aim of graduating with honours.
The Fellows House marks the first Curio Collection by Hilton in the University city known worldwide for its excellence in learning.
The 131-room hotel, with rooms and apartments for both short and long stays, joins the global portfolio of more than 100 one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts, each handpicked for its distinctive character and unique charm.

The hotel provides a range of carefully curated experiences designed to unlock the history of the city and showcase its full offering from the authentic perspective of a local. It also features unique pieces of artwork, all designed locally.
The room types have a familiar ring as they are all named after people associated with the city and notable Cambridge fellows such as Kipling, Newton, Gormley and Attenborough.
