The Netty , Oxford
This subterranean two-suite hotel, created from Oxford’s Victorian public loos, is filled with playful nods to the city. A mix above the bed by Pinton 1867 was inspired by examples hanging in the Ashmolean Museum, while Pierre Frey curtains by the shower pay tribute to the Oxford Playhouse theatre (both just across the road). And a 19th-century lithograph of yew trees in the Oxford Botanic Garden inspired the bathroom tiles. Rooms from £200. thenetty.co.uk
