The 56-key Hobson Cambridge by Adina is set within the Grade II listed building, blending centuries of heritage architecture and storied history with contemporary comfort. Once the stables of 17th Century businessman, Thomas Hobson, whose name gave rise to the phrase ‘Hobson’s Choice’, and later home to the city’s police and fire station, the building has witnessed nearly seven centuries of Cambridge life. Its distinguished façade, grand timber beams, vaulted ceilings, and period detailing speak to its layered history.
Alongside its private apartments, The Hobson Cambridge by Adina features refined public spaces and distinguished meeting room, suited for both short and extended stays. Its forthcoming restaurant concept, named Oz & Isle, is set to be revealed later this autumn. Designed with vibrant greenery, intimate corners, and an energised yet relaxed atmosphere, Oz & Isle is created to honour the building’s historic grandeur.
