Click for travel directions The Barceló Oxford Hotel makes a superb base for visiting Oxford with its dreaming spires, narrow lanes, distinctive architecture hewn from honey-gold Cotswold stone and wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. The hotel is also sufficiently far from the hustle and bustle, the flow of tourists and the students, that you can sample as much of Oxford’s unique delights as you wish. The four-star Oxford hotel was for many years somewhat neglected, but extensive refurbishments carried out at a cost of more than £11 million have transformed this venue into one of Oxford’s most exclusive and luxurious hotels.

The Oxford Hotel is situated approximately two miles to the north of Oxford city centre, just off the Wolvercote Roundabout. In many ways the hotel offers the best of both worlds: it is within easy reach of the traditional site Oxford – one of the UK’s most treasured historic cities and the home of the oldest university in the English speaking world – and so easy to get to via modern transport links including the A34, the Oxford Ring Road, and junctions 8 and 9 of the M40.

No stone was left unturned during the renovation of the hotel. All 168 of the non-smoking rooms and suites have been redecorated in a modern, contemporary style with lavish furnishings and a host of state of the art facilities. The Medio Restaurant is a stylish setting in which to relax and enjoy a selection of particularly fine cuisine, and the hotel’s bar is a distinguished venue for evening drinks. The hotel offers some of the most impressive and easily the most extensive conferencing facilities in the whole of Oxford. A total of 25 rooms are available, and are capable of accommodating anything from a small boardroom meeting to a major conference for 320 delegates. After a long day of business, or perhaps after seeing the wonderful sights of Oxford, what better way of relaxing than in the hotel’s health and leisure club, complete with fitness suite, splash pool and sauna.
