The Hoxton is a series of open house hotels inspired by the diversity and originality of the streets and scenes that surround them. The Hoxton has never just been about offering a bed for the night, the hotels are more than that: providing a place where guests can hangout alongside the locals, and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces and an eclectic programme of events (Hoxtown). The first Hoxton opened in Shoreditch (2006), followed by The Hoxton, Holborn (2014) and The Hoxton, Amsterdam (2015). Future projects include Williamsburg, Paris, Southwark and Chicago.
