What Happened to Cambridge Hotel After Hotel Hell? (Cambridge, NY)

The Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge, New York, was the property Gordon Ramsay visited in Hotel Hell's third episode, which aired 2012-08-20. The hotel had already survived a cycle of closures before the show's visit: built in 1885 as a hotel for travelers on the Delaware and Hudson Railway, the property closed and fell into foreclosure in the mid-1990s, was renovated in 1998-99, then closed again amid foreclosure in 2005. New owners bought and refurbished the building in June 2007, reopening it in 2008 and marking its 125th anniversary in 2010.

The Bennington Banner reported that the hotel closed again in 2012, after being placed into foreclosure that spring and taken over by its lender, and the Times Union separately reported that the inn's financial troubles continued in the aftermath of the Hotel Hell episode. A local bank bought the building at a June 2012 foreclosure auction and sold it in November 2013 to ICC Management and Consulting, which planned to convert it into an assisted living residence, the Associated Press reported. A Yelp listing for the hotel's address, 4 W Main St, Cambridge, NY, was marked permanently closed as of a July 2026 site crawl. A current search of the Cambridge Hotel name in mapping data instead surfaces Battenkill Glamping Resort, a riverside glamping business at 935 NY-313 in Cambridge, whose own website, checked 2026-09-09, described current bookings; that listing makes no reference to the former hotel property on Main Street, and the two appear to be unrelated businesses in the same town.
