Fodor's Expert Review The Randolph Hotel

A 19th-century neo-Gothic landmark, this hotel is ideally situated near the Ashmolean Museum. After a 2019 takeover by the Graduate Hotels group, the Randolph was treated to a top-down makeover, during which its Oxford heritage was beautifully amplified. Uniform rooms are now styled with William Morris–esque wallpaper, quirky artwork, and nods to the likes of Oscar Wilde and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; many have views of Oxford's spires. A tiled, vaulted spa offers pampering treatments designed to ease those travel-related aches. Hip yet elegant, chic yet traditional, the Randolph Hotel will appeal to a wide range of guests.
