What's in a name?

Hotel Felix, an independent, privately owned hotel opened in November 2002 as Cambridge’s first contemporary hotel. The main building dates back to 1852 and whilst many of the original features have been restored, these are now complemented by more modern design and natural fabrics.

Hotel Felix takes its name from Saint Felix of Burgundy who was Apostle to the East Angles (that later became known as East Anglia) and the first person to introduce Latin Christianity to Cambridgeshire during the 7th century. Saint Felix also founded a number of schools in the area including the University of Cambridge.
