Fodor's Expert Review The Varsity

Thompson's La., off Bridge St., Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB5 8AQ, England Fodor's Choice

This stylish boutique hotel with an adjoining spa has wide windows that flood the place with light. Bedrooms are chic and contemporary, while suites have plenty of room to unwind in and sofas from which to admire the city stretched beneath you. Inevitably, the more expensive rooms have the best views. The roof terrace is a lovely spot for an evening cocktail if the weather's fine, or you could unwind in the spa, where a stress-relieving massage sets you back around £50.
