Details

Oxford’s Broad Street is home to the Bar at The Store, a chic and welcoming space within a beautifully reimagined historic department store. This ground-floor bar, complete with a cosy fireside snug, offers views onto the bustling street, making it an ideal spot for people-watching. During the day, it serves as a stylish co-working space, transforming after 6 pm into a laptop-free zone perfect for unwinding. The bar prides itself on its signature 'sips and scavenger bites' menu, featuring everything from light bar snacks to more substantial meals, with offerings changing seasonally. In warmer weather, the experience extends with al fresco seating directly on Broad Street.

The Store itself is a destination, formerly the beloved Boswells department store, now a luxury hotel that blends its rich nearly 300-year legacy with contemporary design. Beyond the ground-floor bar, visitors can also experience The Roof, a fifth-floor rooftop bar and terrace (strictly over 21s) that provides stunning panoramic views of Oxford's famous dreaming spires and the surrounding countryside. This rooftop spot features its own charcoal grill and smoker, serving American barbecue-style dishes and unique cocktails. The entire venue aims to be an institution for both locals and visitors, with a focus on creating memorable experiences, whether you're seeking a casual drink, a special meal, or simply a sophisticated space to relax.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel in Oxford. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. I spent some time in the spa, which was beautifully decorated and offered a real sense of calm. I treated myself to a facial, and it was one of the best I’ve had—so soothing and expertly done. Afterwards, I enjoyed a delicious lunch in the restaurant; the food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The service throughout was attentive and friendly. A truly lovely visit—I left feeling refreshed and well looked after.
