‘Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one’ – Oscar Wilde penned this about the famous British city. Still, he might well have written the latter about The Old Bank Hotel, where the owner’s impressive modern-art collection adorns the walls of the historic old building.
Superbly located on Oxford’s famed High Street, the five-star Old Bank comprises 43 bedrooms – including the rooftop Room with a View – many of which look out over the sweet city’s dreaming spires and landmarks such as the Bodleian, Radcliffe Camera and All Souls College.
When not punting down the Thames; exploring the Ashmolean; wandering lazily around cobbled backstreets; or cycling on one of the hotel’s complimentary-to-borrow bikes: guests will enjoy exploring the three inter-connecting buildings’ nooks and crannies or dining in Quod brasserie, which serves up a delicious Mediterranean-inspired menu.
