The beauty and splendour of Oxford can be discovered and appreciated in as little as one hour. Just a short stroll from our boutique hotel in Oxford, Victors bar and restaurant and soak up a few historic sites on the way, including St. Peter’s College, Oxford War Memorial and St. Ebbe’s Church. Located on the terrace at Westgate shopping centre, the venue’s wisteria-clad interior provides a picturesque setting for residents and tourists alike.

As well as an impressive food offering, the menu is complemented by an extensive beverage list, including wines sourced by Victors’ in-house experts, and innovative cocktails designed to incite the senses. A perfect setting to catch up with friends or loved ones, it’s no wonder this Instagram-worthy spot is such a popular destination.

No trip to Oxford is complete without a visit to the breath-taking Blenheim Palace, just a 20-minute drive from our Oxford hotel. Home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and his family, and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with many stories to tell. The outstanding architect, Sir John Vanbrugh, who created English Baroque, is also the namesake behind our very own Vanbrugh House Hotel.

Take a free guided tour of the State Rooms, visit the Churchill Exhibition, or discover the beauty of extraordinary landscaped Parkland and Formal Gardens at your own leisure. Get lost in the Marlborough Maze, visit the home of butterfly species from around the world at The Butterfly House, or simply sit back and enjoy the surroundings at one of the four delicious cafés and restaurants in the grounds.
