Planning a wedding in Oxford often means you and your guests might be travelling from near and far. To make life easier for everyone, I’ve put together a list of the best places to stay in Oxford. Whether your you want luxury, something quirky, or a good solid room near the action, these options always go down well.
I’ve grouped them by style, because not everyone wants a fancy suite… and not everyone wants a bunk bed in an old college dorm either.
Luxury and Boutique
Old Bank Hotel – Right on the High Street with views of Oxford’s spires. Elegant rooms, great service, and its own restaurant, Quod.
The Randolph – Oxford’s grand hotel. Recently refurbished, beautifully decorated, and perfect for guests who want a treat.
The Store – One of Oxford’s newest boutique hotels. Think slick interiors, warm lighting, and a modern, city-centre vibe.
Vanbrugh House Hotel – Small, stylish and tucked away in a central spot. Ideal for couples or guests who want something a little quieter but still special.
Quirky and Unique
Malmaison Oxford – Yes, the prison hotel. Guests stay in converted cells with original prison doors, but with chic interiors. A memorable Oxford experience.
University Rooms – Budget-friendly and so much fun. Guests stay in real Oxford colleges with breakfast in the dining hall, gardens, quads, and old staircases.
Bath Place Hotel – Cottage-style rooms in one of Oxford’s oldest and cutest corners. Right next to the Turf Tavern.
Central and Practical
Courtyard by Marriott Oxford City Centre – Modern, comfortable, and five minutes from everything. Great for guests who want reliability without paying luxury prices.
Porterhouse Grill and Rooms – Right next to the station with stylish rooms and great food downstairs. Very convenient for guests who are travelling by train.
The Head of the River – A pub with rooms right on the river. Cosy, lively, and perfect for guests who love a good pint and a good view.
