Oxford: Newest Malmaison Opening in Oxford

Malmaison's latest hotel opens in Oxford this November.

The property is a converted prison, which now boasts swank rooms and free broadband.

H.M. Oxford Prison, the UK's first prison, was altered surprisingly little by designers-- with its cells, basement and castellated walls largely unaltered, to host the hotel. Don't worry, the designers did add plenty of Malmaison touches, so it probably won't feel prisonesque, let's hope.

Malmaison Oxford is offering an introductory rate for £110 that includes a complimentary bottle of wine.

Good chance to be one of the first to sleep in the now renovated H.M. Oxford Prison.
