Malmaison Hotel, Oxford, UK

Hotel guests keen to see this former prison through an inmate's eyes should request one of the rooms in A Wing, where you'll find thick stone walls, original cell doors and bars on the windows (just in case you were considering trying to escape without settling that mini bar bill). However if that all sounds a bit much, opt for one of the rooms in the adjoining buildings - which are all named after former governors - where you'll find added extras such as roll-top baths and espresso machines.
