The Randolph hotel is a 5 star hotel located in the centre of Oxford. It is in fact the only 5 star hotel in the whole city. It's a place with a vast amount of history associated with it though, so when I got the chance to stay here I was very excited about the prospect.

The interior is very classic but in a good way with high ceilings and some marvellous decor. Although various parts of the hotel have been refurbished whilst still keeping that historical feel. The rooms themselves are very nice as you'd expect from a hotel of this category. The bedding provided on the bed seemed very nice & you could tell that the towels & gown provided were high quality. Also the bathroom was clean and had a number of shampoos and soaps to use.

All this luxury however does come at a signifiicant price with double rooms starting at £170 and if you want to splash out on the luxuriest suite, that will you back just under £600 a night. Luckily I was staying as part of a works trip, so I didn't have to pay.

This hotel was used as a backdrop for the ITV drama series Inspector Morse and as a result you can find quite a few references to it in the hotel bar. The bar is open to all, and have a lovely feel about it. Drink prices are pretty high as you would probably expect.

So for a taste of sheer luxury in the city, you can't go wrong with the Randolph, however this comes at quite a high price.
