Rhodes House, a venue for all occasions

Welcome to Rhodes House

Since its opening in 1929, Rhodes House has been an Oxford landmark, a historic Grade II* listed venue in the heart of the city.

Home to the Rhodes Trust and still the symbolic home of Rhodes Scholars worldwide, Rhodes House has been updated and reimagined for the 21st century. The handcrafted interiors have been sensitively restored while modern conference facilities with advanced technology have been added, creating an exceptional guest experience.

Rhodes House is the perfect Oxford location for meetings and conferences, wedding ceremonies and receptions, celebrations and special occasions, private dining, and filming & photo shoots. With five unique function rooms, beautiful private gardens, and 34 beautiful en-suite bedrooms, there is a space for every type of event.
