Oxford, England

The Oxford Malmaison hotel is a truly spectacular boutique hotel which has won many awards. What makes this hotel so special is that it has been converted from a prison, but has managed to keep many of the unusual original features. Guests reside in the former cells of the prison, although as they are quite small three have been joined to make a larger room and ensuite bathroom.

There is also a central open plan cast iron walk way spanning several floors that was originally used for parades. The old prison is also famed for its use in a classic British comedy television series called porridge which was based at the former prison.

If you are looking for truely unique boutique hotel in Oxford this is the one for you. As boutique hotels go you dont get much more unusual than this. The whole prison complex surrounding the Malmaison hotel was redeveloped in 2006 and now the hotel is a centre piece to a leisure area that includes a number of pizza restaurants, bars and shops as well as the Oxford Unlocked visitor attraction. It is also a five minute walk to the city centre and railway and bus stations.

Located on the High St, the Old Bank was the first hotel to be created in the centre of Oxford for 135 years and offers the best of both the historic old city and is in a great location for exploring the University.
