Golden Cross, Grade I listed hotel in central Oxford, England
Golden Cross occupies a collection of historic buildings forming a courtyard to the east off Cornmarket Street, incorporating traditional architectural elements and modern facilities.
The location dates back to 1193 when it was called Maugershall, with the current structures built in the late 15th century as a coaching inn.
The property holds connections to English literature, as poet Alexander Pope stayed at Golden Cross in 1735 during his visits to Oxford.
The guesthouse provides accommodation with free WiFi, shared kitchen facilities, and luggage storage space within 100 meters of Oxford city center.
Original timberwork, early wall paintings, and hand-painted wallpaper from the 15th century remain visible in the building's current configuration.
