Malmaison Oxford Malmaison Oxford

This beautifully refurbished former prison offers an unforgettable experience you'll want to escape to, not from, time and again.

The Malmaison group has truly outdone itself in converting this former Victorian prison into a luxury hotel unlike any other.

In the spirit of equality, The Malmaison Oxford offers rooms in the original prisoner's cells as well as in the governor's house. The exclusive "C-wing" suites feature monsoon showers, take-home toiletries, and other indulgent amenities.

The wrought-iron stairs and candlelit halls provide this imposing castle of a structure with an inviting ambiance inside, while the heavy steel doors and four-poster beds will give you a feeling of utmost comfort - and, needless to say, security.

Throughout, the hotel is filled with striking original architecture and period pieces, such as wooden chests and claw-foot tubs, while the lobby and brasserie boldly fuse old and new.

The result is an unusually elegant - and unusually affordable - experience set amid this bustling university town.
