Old Parsonage Hotel
Boutique City Hotel
Our Rating
9.0
The Old Parsonage Hotel, a captivating boutique retreat housed in a building dating back to 1660, combines original charm and historic character with all the luxury and modern amenities of an independently owned retreat in the heart of historic Oxford.
Situated at the head of the beautiful boulevard St Giles, this striking Georgian gem sits proudly amidst the city's most famous landmarks—moments from the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, The Playhouse, Keble College, Somerville, St John's, lush University Parks, the River Thames for punting, and the vibrant bohemian quarter of Jericho—offering an ideal base to explore Oxford's academic heritage, cultural treasures, and lively independent scene.
The 35 individually designed bedrooms and suites masterfully balance old and new, featuring luxurious handmade beds, rich natural fabrics, unique Oxford sketches, magnificent marble bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and thoughtful modern touches that create a warm, homely yet sophisticated atmosphere—many with views that capture the essence of this inspiring city.
The Parsonage Bar & Grill serves British classics with a modern twist from breakfast until late, while the residents' garden library and two terraces provide peaceful spots to relax, read, or enjoy afternoon tea amid carefully curated surroundings. A private dining room seats up to 20 for intimate gatherings, and the hotel is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, making it a cherished venue for special occasions.
The Old Parsonage Hotel is perfectly positioned in central Oxford, a 5-minute walk from the city centre, 3 minutes from Keble and Somerville Colleges, and a 17-minute walk from Oxford Train Station. With free WiFi throughout and its enviable location, this enchanting retreat delivers impeccable hospitality, timeless elegance, and the perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort for an unforgettable stay in one of the world's most beautiful university cities.
