The Fellows House Cambridge
Boutique-adjacent aparthotel with a strong academic identity. Contemporary interiors layered with Cambridge University history — original artwork, sculptures, and references to the Fellows throughout common spaces and rooms.
The Sage of Cambridge transforms into a natural wine bar after 5pm — worth knowing if you want something more relaxed than the Folio Bar.
Why It Matters
The only Curio Collection by Hilton in Cambridge. Genuine design identity built around Cambridge University's Fellows — not just surface theming. The Folio Bar & Kitchen has its own destination following for cocktails and British modern cuisine, and The Sage of Cambridge doubles as a wine bar after 5pm.
The Fellows House is a 163-room aparthotel in Cambridge that wears its university-town identity with genuine enthusiasm. Rooms and apartments are named and themed after famous Cambridge Fellows — Alan Turing, Isaac Newton, Quentin Blake, Charles Darwin — with custom artwork, vintage city maps, and bedside books to match. Most units come with a full kitchen, making this as comfortable for a long-stay relocation project as it is for a weekend punting trip.
