We’re sure you know of Oxford, from the beautiful architecture to one of the world’s most prestigious Universities in the world. Oxford is home to beautiful minds, engaging culture and an air of elegance. So, our boutique hotel in Oxford has compiled our 5 top reasons to visit our amazing city!

Most notorious pub quizzes in the world

You must be a master of quizzes and a fountain of knowledge after lockdown. Well, why not put that to the ultimate test? Oxford has some of the most intense pub quizzes you’ll ever experience. Try your hand against some of the best minds in the world. You never know, stranger things have happened!

 

Bodleian Library

The UK’s second-biggest library is right here in Oxford. Not only is it home to an astounding 12 million items, but it’s also the University of Oxford’s main research centre, and to us; one of the best-smelling places in the world. It’s open to visitors daily, so you’re able to take the Bodleian Library in all its glory for your very self.

 

Architecture

It’s an obvious one, however, it’s beautiful all the same. Anywhere you go in Oxford, you’re accompanied by glorious buildings and dreaming spires. You may not notice it, but you’re constantly visually stimulated by the magnificent aesthetics of our architecture and history. The subconscious part of your brain needs a holiday too, after all. 

 

Cuisine

Not only is Oxford home to some of the best minds in the world, it’s also home to an extremely diverse range of cuisine. Take a look at one of our previous blogs, giving you all the details of the most romantic places to eat, and why you should eat there!

 

Jump into your favourite books

If you’re a fan of literary delights such as Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh, Northern Lights by Philip Pullman or even the classic Inspector Morse series, why not literally jump into your favourite books for a while? All of these were set in our fascinating city. You may even be inspired yourself. 

 

We hope you enjoyed our latest blog, and our Oxford hotel cannot wait to welcome you back through our doors once again. It has been a while, however we want to ensure you that when visiting us, your safety and wellbeing is our number one priority.
