The iconic Crowne Plaza in Downing Street is now known as the Cambridge City Hotel after London and Regional Cambridge Limited purchased the property in July, taking over the operational management of the site.
Robin Hutton, managing director of the hotel, says that the aim is to revamp the restaurant, guest bedrooms and conference rooms.
He said: “We have always been very proud of the service that we offer but we believe that the standards guests expect are higher than ever and we want to improve facilities to ensure we offer the best services possible.
“The work will start in the summer during which time the hotel will remain open. The end result will be very beautiful but we aim to use the current footprint.
“A sign reflecting the new name of the hotel will be erected in three weeks.”
L&R (Cambridge) Limited is a subsidiary of London & Regional Properties Limited – a company that has invested in Hilton hotels, Cumberland Hotels in London and others in France, Russia, Panama and the Caribbean.
