Compass Hospitality Signs Hotel in Oxford, England

Compass Hospitality has signed a deal to manage the historic Hawkwell House Hotel located in the conservation designated Iffley Village in the City of Oxford, England.

As part of the Cotswolds region, the hotel enjoys a picturesque setting in South Central England with rolling hills that rise from the River Thames.

Located within 3 acres of landscaped grounds, the hotel has 77 guestrooms and suites in the main hotel building as well as in the adjacent Elm House, which was once the home of Antarctic explorer Francis Bickerton.

Decorated in English designs, the guestrooms and suites are charming and reminiscent of English country homes. Outside, the hotel grounds and the neighborhood of stone and brick houses along tree-lined streets evoke a sense of tranquility and gracious living.

The Iffley Blue Restaurant serves a variety of British local favourites and Oxfordshire signature dishes. In the afternoons, traditional English afternoon tea service is enjoyed indoors and outdoors.

Four meeting facilities cater from 10 to 200 persons, while an expansive lawn has been the mainstay of the hotel’s celebrated outdoor weddings as the hotel numbers as one of few licensed venues in Oxfordshire to hold civil ceremonies.

The world renowned University of Oxford, colleges and libraries are located about 15 minutes’ away by car from the hotel. The medieval buildings, many in use since the Middles Ages, are as much tourist attractions as they are for the scholastic achievements of graduates and scholars passing through their doors

Shopping and entertainment abound in Oxford with the enchanting Covered Market; high-street shopping in Oxford City Centre, Westgate Centre, Clarendon Centre as well as in countryside Bicester Village; and the 160-acre Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Hawkwell House Hotel is the 7th hotel in UK to be managed by Compass Hospitality. The group’s portfolio now comprises 47 properties in Thailand, Malaysia and the UK.
