The Telegraph has compiled a list of the top seven hotels across the city with a couple of notable omissions. Earning a score of 9/10, the Old Bank Hotel In High Street is highly praised by the newspaper with its illustrious history being mentioned.
Author Lewis Caroll banked at the spot but now it houses 43 luxury rooms, ranging from small doubles to large suites including The Room with the View overlooking the University Church. Malmaison Oxford in New Road is another interesting building having been a prison in the past but now houses 95 guest rooms next to Oxford Castle. Handed an 8/10 score, The Telegraph remarks how it makes an “instant impression” as the “one-of-a-kind hotel” spans a complex of tall 18th-century buildings.
The Old Parsonage Hotel in Road is also given an 8/10 score by the newspaper with its “country house charm” setting it apart from competitors. With 43 rooms, the hotel also houses its very own library as well as portraits of famous local writers and artists decorating the walls. A new addition to Oxford is which makes the cut and is also housed in another historic building, the former Boswell & Co department store.
