This fall, The Store Oxford graces the historic city of Oxford, England, bringing charm and luxury to guests across its 101 guestrooms. The hotel takes up the former Boswells department store, one of the world’s oldest family-owned department stores on record, integrating history with modernity. Founded in 1738, the department store-turned-hotel carries the brand’s legacy into a new age.

The hotel, owned by EQ Hotels, also behind the recently opened Hôtel Dame des Arts in Paris, sees former Boswells employees return, ensuring the same beloved hospitality remains.

Upon entering, the lobby offers guests both a space of relaxation and work, with light-filled co-working spaces across 1,800 square feet. Guestrooms feature playful touches with a nod to the department store’s past, with plush velvet headboards, comfortable king-sized beds, spacious bathrooms and unique artwork.

An exceptional culinary program complements guests’ experiences. The standout rooftop boasts views overlooking Oxford and seasonal food and beverage menus. The Store Oxford’s signature restaurant, also slated to open this fall, will include a restaurant and café, both focusing on sustainably sourced produce and the many cultural influences of Oxford. Back in the lobby, Grand Lobby Bar features signature cocktails, classic concoctions and experiential teas.

The hotel even comes with its own dedicated relaxation space. Renowned British spa brand Oskia promises a retreat for guests.
