The Hoxton, Shoreditch

In the heart of the trendy East London neighborhood of Shoreditch, the upscale Hoxton attracts a young, hip crowd with its modern, trendy design and reasonable prices.The Hoxton strode onto London’s hospitality scene back in 2006, when it transformed a former car garage into a new breed of hotel. All 210 rooms here are small but very comfortable, with mini-fridges and sleek bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Fun, trendy and very London.

Decor is effortlessly creative, with interesting design touches like quirky patterned pillows, wood paneling, and tin ceilings. The Hoxton, Shoreditch is the perfect place to set up office for the day. With its free faxing, WiFi and one hour of global phone calls you'll be able to stay connected all day long.

The electric ambience is best enjoyed from The Hoxton Grill, an all-day dining restaurant set just off the lobby. Meanwhile, The Garden provides an excellent respite from the city’s hum, particularly with a classic cocktail or a local brew in hand, and the retractable roof means you can always enjoy it—whatever the weather.

You can expect an authentic experience here, thanks to a monthly events program that showcases the work of local creatives, from fashion designers to musicians to artists. No fitness center or pool.
