The Randolph Hotel Oxford, a Graduate by Hilton
Location was perfect and staff were attentive and helpful. Older, but clean and charm with history. Proper bar mixologist and good comments about the breakfast from colleague. I would have appreciated a gym facility, but otherwise no complaints. Would return.
