The Queen’s College

The Queen’s College is one of the oldest Oxford colleges and was named in honour of Edward III’s wife, Philippa, whose chaplain Robert de Eglesfield founded the college in 1341. Several other Queens of England have played a significant role in our history. The magnificent Palladian-style buildings of the college are situated prominently on the High Street.

Queen’s offers comfortable, recently refurbished ensuite and standard accommodation within the historic college buildings, with many rooms overlooking the beautiful quads. All rooms have wireless internet connection, tea and coffee-making facilities, refrigerators, bed linen and towels, and are serviced daily by qualified housekeeping staff, the scouts. Carrodus Quad, next to the main college, has been completely refurbished to an extremely high standard and now has 70 ensuite rooms.

Dining in the Queen’s College Hall is a time-honoured tradition. Our friendly, creative catering team will design delicious menus to suit any occasion, from a light lunch for a dozen people to drinks reception and gala dinner for 150 guests.

For conferences, day meetings, and summer schools, Queen’s has an award-winning new auditorium with state-of-the-art audio-visual facilities and a variety of meeting rooms of differing sizes. The college also has other traditional rooms that can be used for functions such as dinners, socials, and drinks receptions.
