The Oxford Collection ®

What The Oxford Collection ® does

The Oxford Collection is an independently owned hospitality group operating from Oxford, England, under the legal entity Mogford Limited and wholly owned by founder and chairman Jeremy Mogford. Its portfolio comprises two five-star luxury hotels — Old Bank Hotel (43 rooms on the High Street) and Old Parsonage Hotel (35 rooms in a 17th-century manor), two luxury residences at 36 St Giles, three restaurants (Quod, Gees in a Victorian conservatory, and Parsonage Grill), and six private dining and event venues (Gees Gallery, Pike Room, Garden Room, Red Room, Boardroom, and the Gallery at Old Bank). The collection serves leisure and business travelers to Oxford, local diners, corporate groups, families, and event hosts, with revenue drawn from hotel room rentals, restaurant covers, private events, and gift vouchers.

The business operates through a multi-channel distribution model combining direct reservations (own websites and a central reservations team at +44 (0) 1865 521111), third-party platforms (Opera by Oracle and P3 Hotels for hotels; OpenTable for restaurants; SK Chase for gift vouchers), and walk-ins. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed for most services, varying by season and room category; a Family InSpires package adds child-focused amenities at £65/night for extra beds. The technology stack is conventional hospitality infrastructure — no proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities — supplemented by email marketing (Campaign Monitor), e-signature (Signable), environmental sensors (RTMS), and sustainability-aligned local supplier partnerships (Hundred Hills wines, Dayfold FSC paper, Benchmark/Epoc/Pietersen furniture, CTS laundry, Olleco used-oil recycling).

The group has accumulated external validation through Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards (15th and 28th in Best Hotels – Rest of UK, 2024), Ox in a Box Oxford's Best Restaurant 2025 for Quod, the OpenTable Best Restaurant for Outdoor Dining in Oxfordshire award, and a Michelin Key awarded to Old Parsonage in October 2025. Cultural positioning is reinforced by Founding Patron status with the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, sponsorship of the Oxford Literary Festival, and a Business Guardian partnership with Oxfordshire Youth. The company remains wholly founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, private equity, or venture capital backing.
