Crowne Plaza Hotel
Downing Street (01223) 464466

The Crowne Plaza hotel celebrated its tenth anniversary at the end of 2001. We investigate why the only four star deluxe hotel in Cambridge is so special.

Rocking rooms
All 198 bedrooms have been newly refurbished and boast plush en suite facilities, make the most of the bathrobes they provide for you to lounge around in. Take your pick from executive rooms to luxury suites. All you tecchie or business types can sleep easy – they provide cable and satellite T.Vs, modem connections, international direct dial telephones and voicemail so you don’t miss those all-important messages.

Eat, drink and relax
Now who’s feeling spoilt? Take your pick from Bloomsbury’s Bar and Restaurant. The bar area offers light snacks during the day, and will whip up cocktails for you to relax over in the evenings. For more substantial fare, the contemporary restaurant itself serves up quality food throughout the day and night. Or you can come over all Japanese at the Hibachi Grill. Don’t leave without enjoying a properly poured pint of Guinness at Quinn’s.

Let’s talk business
Their conference facilities accommodate up to 250 delegates, with their Business Centre at your disposal, alongside all the latest audio-visual equipment.

Why don’t we get hitched?
Their eye catching function room can play host to 135 guests, so unfortunately there’s no excuse for not inviting Great Aunt Maude.

Park up
Whatever the reason for your stay in Cambridge, the Crowne Plaza Hotel is so centrally placed that you’ll be able to get around on foot. But if you do choose to drive, their underground car park offers high security and peace of mind.
