The place
Nestled in Edinburgh’s vibrant Haymarket district, The Hoxton offers a stylish retreat that seamlessly blends historic charm with a contemporary sensibility. This unique hotel is housed within 11 interconnected Georgian townhouses, originally built in the 1850s, with a careful preservation of their classic architectural details. It presents itself as a welcoming haven, where the grandeur of the past meets the comforts and design flair of modern hospitality.
What they do well
The Hoxton excels in crafting a distinctive stay experience, beginning with its 214 uniquely styled rooms, which even include spacious three-bedroom homes catering to larger groups. Their culinary offering, Patatino, is an Italian restaurant that prides itself on using Scottish-sourced ingredients to create its pasta dishes, alongside inventive options like a haggis-and-’nduja pizza. For entertainment beyond the plate, guests can discover a boutique cinema, thoughtfully curated by Cinetopia, providing a unique cinematic escape within the hotel’s walls.
The vibe
Stepping into The Hoxton, one immediately senses a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, where muted sage greens and dusky pinks provide a soft backdrop to the interiors. Plush velvet seating invites relaxation, while vintage chandeliers cast a warm glow, complementing the local artwork and carefully chosen vintage touches that adorn the lobby. It’s a space designed to feel both sophisticated and intimately welcoming, perfect for a quiet morning coffee or an evening gathering.
