The 170 guest rooms feature complimentary Wi-Fi, 55-inch TVs with Chromecast technology, rainfall showers, Hypnos beds, and Nespresso machines. Guests can also unwind in the state-of-the-art fitness centre.
The hotel’s signature all-day dining restaurant, The Oxen Bar & Grill, presents seasonal British-inspired and international cuisine with an open pizza kitchen, all-weather alfresco dining terrace, and urban lounge bar.
Four spacious meeting rooms, with natural daylight and equipped with the latest technology, offer 185 sq m of versatile meeting and function space, with the largest area able to cater for 120 delegates.
The hotel is owned by Reef Estates Hotels, a private property development and investment company and operated by EQ Hotels.
The addition of Courtyard Oxford South brings the brand’s footprint in Europe to over more than hotels. Further hotel openings are anticipated over the next couple of years in key growth markets including Germany, UK, and France, as well as new markets including Armenia, Iceland, and Finland.
