First established in 1866 and rebuilt in 1912, The Clements is Cambridge’s “newest oldest hotel”, a Qualmark 5-star Gold landmark lovingly restored for a new generation.
In the heart of Cambridge, this elegant 29-room boutique hotel blends historic character with contemporary luxury. Beautifully appointed rooms and suites, warm personalised service, thoughtful details and relaxing manicured gardens make The Clements as much a destination as a place to stay.
Acknowledged by the Michelin Guide, The Gallery restaurant invites guests to linger over coffee, lunch, dinner or drinks, with seasonal menus celebrating quality local produce. Downstairs, hidden beneath the hotel, 1866 offers an intimate speakeasy experience with cocktails, live music and a distinctly glamorous atmosphere.
The Clements is also a memorable setting for weddings, private celebrations, meetings and events, with character-filled spaces, tailored catering and attentive service.
Beyond the hotel, guests can explore Cambridge’s boutique shopping, galleries, cycling trails and world-class equestrian scene, while the Hobbiton Movie Set and Lake Karāpiro are within easy reach.
Elegant, welcoming and unmistakably Cambridge, The Clements brings a little old-world glamour back to the Waikato, to create an unforgettable escape.
