Cambridge House, Auberge Collection, the centuries old landmark which has welcomed tastemakers and world shapers throughout its illustrious history, is set to become London’s most vibrant, experience-driven luxury hotel. Building on this historic legacy and as part of Reuben Brothers’ visionary £1 billion regeneration of 1.3 prime acres of the Piccadilly Estate, the house has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully reinvented, reflecting Reuben Brothers commitment to preserving its character, craftsmanship and heritage.
“The launch of Cambridge House marks a defining moment in Auberge Collection’s exciting urban growth and global expansion,” said Christian Clerc, President and CEO of Auberge Collection. “We are proud to introduce this extraordinary London property to our portfolio, offering travellers and locals alike a vibrant and soulful destination defined by our one-of-a-kind approach.”
Encompassing several historic properties, the Georgian mansion at the heart of the hotel is a London icon – a gracious, Grade I-listed, Palladian-style home commissioned by the 2nd Earl of Egremont in 1756, and home to the most illustrious families of the Georgian era, including its namesake, The Duke of Cambridge. It has served as both a noble townhouse and clubhouse, built to entertain the political and social elite of the age, from hosting Queen Victoria to serving as Lord Palmerston’s proxy of 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister. Its renown grew further as the home of the ‘In & Out’ Naval and Military Club from 1865 to 1999.
