Malmaison Oxford

A striking boutique hotel set within a converted Victorian prison, and the first stop for many delegates arriving at BGC 2025

Malmaison Oxford, located in the historic city centre of Oxford, will be the first hotel where most delegates arrive for the BGC programme. Housed in a converted Victorian prison within the Oxford Castle Quarter, the hotel offers a truly unique stay — blending original prison architecture with modern luxury. Its location places delegates at the heart of Oxford, surrounded by the city’s famous colleges, cobbled streets, and rich academic heritage.

The hotel’s distinctive design preserves elements of its past — including converted cells and atmospheric stone corridors — while offering all the amenities of a boutique stay. This combination of history, character, and comfort makes Malmaison Oxford a memorable starting point for delegates before moving on to other venues within the programme.
