WHAT WE LOVE...

Hidden away in two historic buildings, sitting opposite Oxford's Town Hall, the Museum Hotel couldn't be more central. You'll enter with a code and likely meet no staff unless you've arranged for the bag drop service. The rooms are decked out in luxuriant style and complimentary snacks and drinks are provided in the two handsome lounges. And that's it in terms of service, no reception, no parking, no bar or restaurant, but the central location means you can find everything on foot.

THE DETAILS

Location

We love being able to ditch the car and walk everywhere, even when stumbling home late at night.

By car: around 1 hour 30 minutes from London or Bristol and just over 3 hours from Manchester. No on-site parking but Gloucester Green car park is a seven-minute walk from the hotel.
By train: around 50 minutes from London Paddington, 1 hour 20 minutes from Bristol Temple Meads and 2 hours 45 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly. Oxford station is a 15-minute walk away. thetrainline.com
