Follow on Google News | An educated decision: Cambridge colleges make a unique one-stop-shop for events and accommodationBy: UniversityRooms.com Rather than book delegates or guests into an anonymous hotel during their event, organisers can now also provide accommodation in many of the city's most well-known and picturesque colleges. That's thanks to a collaboration between Meet Cambridge – the official venue-finding service for the Colleges of the University of Cambridge – and the accommodation experts UniversityRooms.com. This partnership gives event organisers, from international conference officials to harassed secretaries, access to an integrated event facility and accommodation one-stop-shop. Delegates and guests will have a unique Cambridge backstage pass, experiencing the life of a historic college during their visit without breaking the bank. Lily Smith, a leading tourism expert from UniversityRooms.com, says: 'Cambridge's colleges and academic venues are ideally suited for conferences and meetings, with spaces including auditoriums, seminar rooms, break-outs, networking areas, gardens and sports facilities. The city is home to two universities and a large number of affiliated organisations, offering over 800 rooms for conferences, meetings and private dining. Suitable for groups of between 10 and 500, there's a vast choice of room styles, from the traditional and historic to contemporary learning environments. 'Meet Cambridge is a single point of contact for connecting users with 50 venues across Cambridge, its service is completely free. 'The icing on the cake for event organisers wanting to capture the full Cambridge experience for their delegates is the opportunity to also stay in one of the many historic colleges. Meet Cambridge's tie-up with UniversityRooms.com provides access to atmospheric "digs" in many of Cambridge's most well-known colleges. With a range of bedroom styles, from single study rooms to hotel-standard double ensuite bedrooms and apartments, there's a choice to suit every budget. The Head of Meet Cambridge, Andrew Bell, adds: 'Partnering with University Rooms is a great collaboration that benefits everyone, most importantly the guests who need to find great places to stay in Cambridge.'
