Southampton's award-winning gastro pub The White Star in Oxford Street has been returned to its former use as a hotel. The White Star, which dates back to 1884, offers 13 boutique en suite guest rooms, a 3 bedroom serviced apartment and a meeting room for up to 12 delegates. All boasting the amenities associated with five star B&B accommodation.

Awarded five stars by the AA for its boutique guest accommodation, and located in the heart of Southampton's historic maritime district, this former seafarer's hotel offers a unique blend of stylish and comfortable accommodation. Features include seriously comfortable beds with soft Egyptian linen, stunning bathrooms with roll top baths and oversized showers, not forgetting the important touches like mini bars stocked with your favourite products and personal safes big enough for laptops. Rooms also come equipped with the latest technology and entertainment including broadband WiFi and 19" freeview flat screen televisions.

The conferencing and events facilities are suitable for corporate away days, training, wedding receptions and special events.

The ground floor bar & restaurant was also singled out for further recognition and awarded a much coveted second AA rosette representing 'the best local restaurants, offering higher standards and better consistency'.
