The Hoxton is an international hotel chain owned by Ennismore.[1] The Hoxton currently has two hotels in London; The Hoxton, Shoreditch and The Hoxton, Holborn. The Hoxton’s first international opening was The Hoxton, Amsterdam.[2]
History
In 2012, Ennismore, owned by Sharan Pasricha, acquired The Hoxton, Shoreditch and the brand to scale the business.[3] In 2013 Ennismore embarked on a full brand reboot which included a refurbishment programme across the bedrooms and public areas and the addition of The Apartment, a multi-functional meeting and events space like no other. In late 2014, The Hoxton opened the second hotel in the series, The Hoxton, Holborn on High Holborn housing 174 rooms.[4] The Hoxton opened its first international hotel – The Hoxton, Amsterdam, which is located on Herengracht and has 111 bedrooms.[5]
The brand is also scheduled to open branches in New York, Paris, Chicago and Los Angeles.[6] A third London hotel will open in 2018 located in Southwark in South London.[7] Pasricha has held the position of CEO since 2012.[8]
Style and reception
The hotel is known for its style, modern decor, events series Hoxtown and good value pricing.[9] Each of The Hoxton’s have their very own Hoxtown Gallery showcasing the work of local artists and galleries.[10][11]
The hotel’s quirky, vintage and pared-down urban interior design have been widely published,[12] winning several awards including the World Architecture Festival award, as well as a commendation at the INSIDE festival, and shortlisted for the FX awards.[13] In 2015, The Hoxton was chosen as The Best Budget Hotel by The Sunday Times.[14] The Hoxton, Holborn was included in the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List 2015 [15] and The Hoxton, Amsterdam was featured in their Condé Nast Traveler World’s Best New Hotels 2015.[16] The Hoxton, Amsterdam was also included in The Best New Hotels On The Planet by Travel + Leisure.[17][18]
The Hoxton was hailed by GQ as "effortless cool",[19] whilst the Financial Times quoted the lobby in The Hoxton, Shoreditch to be "a destination for entrepreneurs working in the cluster of tech start-ups in the area, as well as for those working in Shoreditch’s media and creative businesses".[20] Harper’s Bazar described the lobby as a "destination in itself"[21] and Stylist voiced "from decadent breakfasts to imaginative cocktails and regular arty flourishes in-between, the Hox’s Insta account resembles the dream East London lifestyle we’d all like to lead."[22] The bedrooms at the Hoxton, Amsterdam were described as an "oasis of calm" by ES Magazine[23] and quoted by Tatler as the hotel where "Everyone hangs out, eating mac ‘n’ cheese, sipping negronis’.[24] Net-a-Porter thinks "cool is the common denominator of any Hoxton Hotel".[25]
