About the Hotel
Malmaison Oxford - A luxury boutique hotel in a converted Victorian prison with contemporary dining and historic architecture
Located in a rambling complex of 18th-century prison buildings surrounded by defensive stone walls, this 95-room Oxford hotel retains original features like cell doors and window bars while offering modern luxury. Spacious rooms combine two former cells with en-suite bathrooms featuring power showers, while suites occupy larger converted spaces. The Chez Mal Brasserie, housed in the former prison wing, serves contemporary British cuisine with French influences, complemented by a neon-lit cocktail bar offering indoor and courtyard seating. Malmaison's facilities include six meeting rooms in converted cells, a pleasant garden dubbed 'The Exercise Yard' for al fresco dining, and high-speed WiFi throughout. The hotel sits just 0.5 miles from central Oxford's colleges and museums, positioned within the historic Castle Quarter.
