INCIDENTALLY: It”s a Steal!
It is said that by going to gaol you pay your debt to society. There
is a new twist to this expression. This time you do pay and the
inspiration has won an award!
Opened last November the Malmaison Oxford Castle Prison Hotel is an
authentic custodial edifice dating back to 1166 with inmates as late
as 1996. It is a Grade I listed building and largely unaltered; the
cells, basement and many of the fixtures and fittings being preserved,
resulting in a hotel with a unique if somewhat eccentric character.
Tripl Advisor, a UK-web based hotel reviewer,has voted it the second
most quirkiest property in the world coming after the Ice Hotel in
Quebec, a sort of luxury igloo that is only open from January to April
(in a good year). The Malmaison Oxford has 94 rooms and is in the
city centre about a ten-minute walk from the station. It”s a steal at
any price!
