IHG Reopens Fifteenth Century Oxford as Voco Oxford Thames

IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), has rebranded voco™ Oxford Thames which was acquired in 2019 as part of IHG’s strategic partnership with Covivio.
The 104-room refreshed hotel offers a distinct, unstuffy and exciting new hotel experience for guests and blends historical character with 21st century style.
Every guest will experience the voco™ signature ‘come on in’ warm welcome, promising a swift and simple check in, with dedicated voco™ hosts available throughout the guest’s stay as resident experts.
The hotel guest rooms benefit from the application of the voco™ design with thoughtful touches like cosy bedding, upscale sustainable amenities from Aveda, and fast Wi-Fi so guests can relax and indulge in some ‘me time’ when they stay at voco™.
Guests can enjoy a taste of ‘voco™ life’ with seasonally inspired British cuisine carefully crafted by an award-winning chef in the Conservatory Restaurant or catch up with friends and family over drinks in The Crusaders Bar and Lounge.
The Oxford Thames Spa and Leisure Club is a fully equipped health club with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym for those looking to truly unwind and relax.
Voco™ Oxford Thames is the third voco™ hotel in the UK, joining voco™ St David’s Cardiff and voco™ St John’s Solihull.
