Opening in August, this is the hotel that this studious town has been crying out for.
Built in 1834, the Victorian original has been completely transformed by classical architect John Simpson (favoured by the Royal family) and maximalist interior designer Martin Brudnizki (New York’s The Beekman; the new Annabel’s in London). As well as 192 rooms and suites, there will be Sunday lunches served from the roast-beef trolley in restaurant and bar Parker’s Tavern, inspired by college dining halls. Or pick up a packed picnic to sprawl with on the grass on nearby Parker’s Piece.
