The Hoxton is excited to add five more properties to its growing portfolio, with hotels set to open in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Shepherd’s Bush (London), and Vienna over the course of 2022 and 2023. After a challenging year, optimism is on the horizon as these exciting openings see the brand spread its much-loved hotels further across Europe, and follow the recent opening of The Hoxton’s 10th hotel in Rome, which opened earlier this month. As part of the expansion, Working From_, The Hoxton’s coworking brand, will also open its first mainland Europe location, bringing a great new co-working offering to Brussels.
The Hoxton has continued to go from strength to strength in recent years, scaling its portfolio of open-house design-led hotels in key cities across Europe and North America. Locations currently include London (Shoreditch, Holborn and Southwark), Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, New York, Portland, Chicago and Downtown LA. The Hoxton is loved for its authentic design, destination dining, memorable service, and tendency to do things differently. Always more than just a bed for the night, The Hoxton launched Flexy Time in 2019, an industry-first allowing guests to check in and out when they choose for free when they book direct. The Hoxton’s Good Neighbours fundraising initiative does good for the communities around its hotels, whilst Camp Hox, the brand’s incredibly popular pivot into pop-up summer camping and campervan experiences, takes the brand out of its four walls to offer its guests countryside adventures with Hoxton comforts.
Speaking about the upcoming openings, CEO and Founder, Sharan Pasricha comments: “It’s been an incredibly difficult time for everyone, especially those in hospitality, and for all of those who, like us, love to travel and discover new places. Community has never felt more important, and we look forward to sharing Hoxton with more people in some of our favourite cities in Europe. Our exciting plans for the next few years reflect our optimism for the bounceback of travel and commitment to the industry we love. We can’t wait to expand our portfolio and open our doors in these great cities, ready for when city breaks and international travel is back and thriving.
