Old Parsonage Hotel
1 Banbury Road, Oxford, UK
35 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
The Old Parsonage is unique in billing itself as a 17th-century boutique hotel, and we’ve got to admit they do have a point. This is a town, after all, whose university is so old as to resist any attempt at pinning down a precise date for its founding — in comparison it was practically just yesterday that Oscar Wilde signed the Old Parsonage guest book.
Though its exterior is charmingly weathered, and more than a little bit rural in aspect, the Old Parsonage’s interiors are quirkily urbane. The atmosphere of the original house provides a lively contrast with the decoration, which is colorful, contemporary, and eminently tasteful. And though it’s very far from being ostentatious about it, the Old Parsonage, beneath all its patina, is more than a little bit luxurious.
It’s a sister to the Old Bank hotel, as well as a couple of local restaurants, which expands the offerings quite a bit. But the best the Old Parsonage has to offer is small-scale, local, and idiosyncratic — the Parsonage Grill’s menu is exquisitely crafted and impeccably sourced, the afternoon tea is an institution, and the hotel offers a number of ways to see historic Oxford: guided walking tours, bicycle rentals, even a punt for a bit of Isis-bound exploration.
