MALMAISON OXFORD ^{* * * *}

Is sleeping in a former Victorian prison a must? This boutique hotel is indeed a bit special, as it's located in Oxford Castle, which dates back to the ^11th century. After being used as a prison, it was completely renovated as a hotel in 2005. It's now a charming place steeped in history. And thanks to the comfort of the rooms, guests will soon forget their former, less welcoming, purpose. The decoration of the former cells is both trendy and modern, in an industrial and design style.
