"The first hotel created in the center of Oxford in 135 years, the Old Bank opened late in 1999 and immediately surpassed the traditional favorite, the Randolph." Full review

"Money still flows here as it is often fully booked – tribute to the sharp Armani styling of the rooms and the tempting new British cuisine."
Star Service
"These days, you can bank on two things: the view from the rooftop platform is still the best in town, and the dining in Quod restaurant will be memorable. " Full review

The charming lady on the phone, when I called the hotel ahead to make some enquiries, had already warned me not to take the car on the historic high street to avoid getting fined, and gave me alternative Sat-Nav coordinates, which took me directly to the secure backstreet-courtyard parking.
