Praise
Until its 2020 closure, Boswells was part of the fabric of Oxford for 282 years. Now the department store’s grand premises on Broad Street have been transformed into a thoroughly modern hotel, with scalloped headboards, pops of colour and parquet flooring in the rooms, and a rooftop bar serving cocktails drawing on Oxford’s heritage.
