The Hoxton is a rapidly-growing group of hotels built on the success of this their first venue, opened in 2006, in Shoreditch. The brilliant contemporary design throughout the 210 guest rooms and public spaces is more than enough to recommend the place on its own, but its the rejection of all the usual annoying and expensive hotel rip-offs that puts the icing on the cake.
Free wi-fi (amazingly still a rarity in 2015), free phone calls, tea and coffee and healthy breakfast bags all leave a pleasant taste in the mouth — as does The Hoxton Grill restaurant run in partnership with Soho House Group.
