This new opening in one of the UK’s most picturesque and storied cities marks the eighth property in Wilde’s expanding European portfolio, with further openings set later this year in Lisbon, Vienna, Porto and Amsterdam.
Ideally located amongst the city’s prestigious university colleges, and within short walking distance to both Cambridge’s iconic park, Jesus Green, as well as the famed River Cam, Wilde, Cambridge City Centre offers the ideal base to explore the city’s iconic streets and bridges by foot, bike, or even on the water from the comfort of a traditional punt.
Designed by London design studio Thurstan, the property’s social spaces are elegant yet informal and thoughtfully curated to inspire both interaction and relaxation. While in his tenure as European Design Director of Soho House, studio founder James Thurstan Waterworth was responsible for the eclectic design of Soho House Istanbul, leading the restoration of the former American Embassy into the 87 bedroom members club & hotel that returned the historic building to its former grandeur. Known for his understated and sophisticated approach, Thurstan’s design for Wilde, Cambridge City Centre seamlessly blends old with new, with a balance of contemporary and mid-century influence, mixing rich materials such as velvet, wood, brass, and marble to create visual dimension.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
