19+ rooms at The Salisbury Green (55 £ per night)
One of the two original buildings on site, along with St Leonard's Hall. It was originally built around 1780 by Alexander Scott, and was extended again repeatedly - firstly in 1820, then remodeled in the baronial style in 1860-67 by architect John Lessels for its resident at the time, the publisher William Nelson (1816-87). The building was acquired by the University after World War II and extended once again in 1979. Several of its public rooms have been restored including the bow-fronted drawing room to the east, the Red Room with ebony fittings and the oak-panelled billiard room. Its interior includes rich painting by Charles Frechou. In 2006, Salisbury Green was given a thorough refurbishment, and now operates as a hotel. It no longer houses students.

11+ rooms at Chancellor's Court (38 £ per night) which is just nearby.
A modern four-story hall of residence, which holds 133+ people in,
mostly, single en-suite double-bedded rooms and was built in the 1990s
