This One Thing... The Book Butler

August 3, 2023 | By Poppy Roy

With countless literary haunts, an abundance of bookshops, more than 100 libraries to visit, and a university alumnus that ranges from Sylvia Plath to Salman Rushdie, the historic city of Cambridge is a book lover’s dream. But where to lay your head after a day exploring its cobbled streets? The University Arms is a must for the bibliophiles among us. It’s a historic hotel, in which guests are encouraged to borrow a tome from the mahogany-panelled library, curated by independent bookshop Heywood Hill in London. Not sure what to read next? Queue your very own Book Butler. This service includes a personalised book consultation, where you’ll discuss your literary interests, preferred authors and themes. Then a hand-picked selection of books is delivered to your room. You’ll discover under-the-radar writers, indie bookshops and alluring reading spots by the city’s canals. Sign us up…
