Luxury Hotels in Oxford
If you want to make your visit to Oxford extra special, it is best to book some luxury accommodation. Oxford used to only have one luxury hotel to speak of, The Randolph, but things have imporved in recent years and Oxford now has plenty of luxurious hotels located in the heart of the city including the award winning prison hotel run by Mal Maison. Oxford's most popular luxury hotels start with the famous Randolph closely followed by the less central Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons but a new favourite has recently arrived on Oxford's luxury hotel scene, in the form of Mal Maison, Oxford Castle. This is a strange nomination for one of the best hotels in Oxford because it was formerly a prison, but it has been transformed in to an award winning luxury hotel maintaining many of the original features - worth a visit even if you dont stay there! Our recommended best hotels are listed below based on local knowledge and feedback, we hope you agree!
The Randolph is one of Oxford's leading hotels - The Macdonald Randolph Hotel is situated in the heart of the city opposite the famous Ashmolean Museum which has recently completed a 65 million pound refit. The Randolph was built in 1864 in a Gothic architectural style and has recently been refurbished, the hotel offers the highest level of comfort and service in a traditional and welcoming environment. The location makes the Macdonald Randolph Hotel an ideal base for exploring the historic sights of Oxford or the thriving shopping centre just two minutes walk away.
The Randoph was one Oxfords only top rated hotels but now faces competition from the Old Parsonage Hotel and the more trendy boutique style Mal Maison hotel in the new Oxford Castle development.

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.
