You’ll be intrigued to see that every room tells a story, relating either to our Oxford hotel or to notable Oxford residents.

Some of our favourite stories include:

The Wig Room

Located on the second floor of our hotel, The Wig Room is so-called as during the 18th Century this room was where the men and women of the house had their wigs fitted. At the time, men’s wigs were powdered to give them their distinctive white colour, while women mainly powdered their hair grey. Powdered wigs became a necessity for full dress occasions up until the end of the 18^th century.

Lewis Carroll Room

This delightful Superior Double Room was named after the famous English writer, Lewis Carroll. In 1851, Carroll came to Oxford to study mathematics at Christ Church College. It is at this college where Carroll met his muse, Alice Liddell, the daughter of a Dean at Christ Church. Alice Liddell was the ‘real-life Alice’ and the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass.
