The Cambridge Belfry hotel has officially joined the Doubletree by Hilton portfolio and has undergone a £1.8m refurbishment as part of its rebrand.
Ruth Poulton, vice chair of the Cambourne Parish Council, cut the ribbon to declare the hotel – now known as the DoubleTree by Hilton Cambridge Belfry – officially open.
The refurbishment included the redecoration of all 120- bedrooms, with the installation of 49” wall mounted TVs, safes, fridges, complete bedding renewal and decoration – as well as a makeover for the hotel’s reception and bar, plus leisure changing areas.
The property, which is managed by hotel management company, RBH, joins 48 other hotels within the DoubleTree by Hilton portfolio in the UK.
Situated in Cambourne, DoubleTree by Hilton Cambridge Belfry provides easy access to a number of well-known attractions and activities, such as Duxford Air Museum, the University of Cambridge and punting on the River Cam.
Darren Townsend, general manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Cambridge Belfry, said: “We’re pleased to officially call the hotel part of the DoubleTree by Hilton family. The brand is globally-recognised, and reiterates to guests the exceptional standards of service they should expect when they visit us here in Cambridge.
“It was wonderful to welcome Ruth Poulton here to officially open the hotel under its new name, and to have the opportunity to show her around the hotel and introduce the team. We look forward to welcoming guests, and offering the best possible guest experience.”
Poulton added: “I’m honoured to have been invited to officially mark the unveiling of the newly-named DoubleTree by Hilton Cambridge Belfry, and to have the chance to see the investment that has already gone into the property as a result of the rebrand.
“This hotel has been part of the town for a number of years and, now that it is part of the globally-recognised Hilton brand, I am confident it will continue to attract visitors from near and far to the town.”
