Just got back from a weekend break in Oxford to Celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary
Stayed in the A wing (actual Prison Cells) at Malmaison
Will post pics up of Oxford throughout this week but as a starter I thought I would post 1 pic of the interior of the hotel
Cells(bedrooms) either side of the A wing
Just an awesome place to stay

I went to Oxford for the weekend, last week. Stayed in the four pillars hotel. But I went to the castle/old prison and they told us about that hotel. Should have stayed there.

I have stayed there 3 times now - love the place, even if the parking cost is disproportionate! First time was courtesy of Nissan iirc.

Looks mad that! I assume the cells are a decent size or knocked through?

The whole malmaison group are hotels of unique style with all being converted buildings
The one in Manchester is a converted porcelain doll factory which was a nice hotel also

Not sure why, I don't fancy it.
The one in Liverpool was purpose built I think. Still very nice though.

Hotel looks decent enough but I don't really get the gimmick of staying in an ex-prison.
