The best boutique hotels in Oxford

Find a wealth of heritage, inviting dining venues and cosy hotel interiors at these storied boltholes across the city of dreaming spires

Any storied city deserves storied hotel rooms, and Oxford delivers these in droves. You can snooze away in suites dedicated to Winston Churchill, where intimate family photographs and an impressive sculpted bust adorn the walls, and even retreat to a bedroom featuring a roof terrace putting you at eye-level height with the gargoyles of University Church. 
Of course, it’s what’s outside these brilliant hotel bedrooms that makes Oxford such a joy to visit: the historic colleges that once played home to Prime Ministers and world leaders; the general bustle of students cycling between halls in their gowns; and the city’s collection of fantastic independent shops and restaurants, from the Covered Market’s artisanal producers to the cafes and bars of trendy Jericho. These are the best boutique hotels in Oxford for your stay.

Every hotel in this curated list has been visited by one of our expert reviewers, who are usually hosted on a complimentary basis. They stay for a minimum of one night, test at least one meal and trial other experiences that the hotel might have to offer.
