Old Bank Hotel

The house

An independent hotel in three old buildings on the High Street, one of them a bank, steps from Radcliffe Square and opposite the University Church. It has 43 rooms, three of them suites, with modern art from the owner's collection on the walls and marble bathrooms. Many rooms look onto the towers of All Souls, Merton and St Mary's church.

The rooms and practical details

The average room is around 28 m², with air conditioning, a desk and a minibar. There is a lift to all four floors and an accessible room on the ground floor, above the garden terrace. Downstairs is the Quod brasserie, which serves from breakfast to dinner. Pets are not allowed, except guide and assistance dogs.

Getting there and parking

It is one of the few hotels in the centre with its own car park: 35 spaces and four electric chargers. For your sat nav, use the postcode OX1 4ES, which takes you along Merton Street and Magpie Lane to the entrance. Beware of Oxford's traffic filters: confirm the route with the hotel when you book. Without a car, the station is about a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride.
