The Hoxton, Shoreditch

The Hoxton puts you right in Shoreditch, with Old Street just around the corner and the City close by. Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane are within walking distance, while restaurants, bars and independent shops line the surrounding streets. Old Street station makes Soho, Covent Garden and the West End easy to reach in about 20 minutes.

The Hoxton helped define the relaxed, design-led hotel style now associated with Shoreditch. Exposed brick, vintage furniture and contemporary artwork give the interiors plenty of character, while the large, open lobby shifts naturally from coffee and laptops by day to drinks and a livelier atmosphere in the evening.

Rooms are compact, comfortable and cleverly designed, with an industrial influence that suits the Shoreditch setting. Larger categories offer more space to spread out, while the emphasis throughout is on simple, well-considered design rather than unnecessary extras.

The restaurant and bar form part of the hotel's social heart, with an atmosphere that carries through from morning coffee to dinner and drinks later in the evening. It’s the kind of hotel where the ground floor is part of the experience, not just a place you pass through.
