Marking the brand’s Scottish debut, The Hoxton has touched down in Edinburgh’s West End, transforming 11 Georgian-inspired terraced townhouses. Bringing the signature Hox energy to the city, the 214 rooms are split across both sides of historic Grosvenor Street, with the hotel also home to trattoria-style Italian restaurant Patatino, The Get Together ballroom-style events space, The Apartment meeting and events concept, an intimate screening room, and three Houses: self-contained three-bed, three-bath homes-away-from-home, ideal for those looking to live like a local with all the usual Hox comforts.
Lobby
Upon entry, guests are greeted by a striking mural by artist Verity Woolley, with a vintage amber and clear Murano glass chandelier setting a warm and inviting mood. Enticing nooks, nestled around original pillars, mid-century lounge chairs, geometric textiles and scalloped motifs, are dotted throughout the space, both complementing and perfectly offsetting the Georgian-style architecture. Teals of all tones are enhanced with antique blues, dusty pinks and muted ochres, and dark stained woods paired with blackened steel, unlacquered brass and textured glass create a layered, cosy environment. Flooring is a mix of white and grey checkerboard tiling throughout the main lobby, and timber parquet towards the rear lounge areas, with tiled fireplaces, patterned sisal rugs and tapestry by local artist Jasmine Linington. The showstopping lobby bar is wrapped in perforated brass, with peach bar back tiles and wall mounted mirrored beer taps, paying homage to a classic tap room. By day, it’s the ideal spot to grab a coffee and work remotely or catch up with a friend; by night, it transforms into a lively locale for enjoying a wee dram or two. Off the side of the lobby, guests can indulge in some retro cinema in the intimate, five-seater screening room, complete with plush burgundy velvet, popcorn machine and a curated programme by local film buffs Cinetopia.
Rooms
Split across both sides of the street, with the main building housing 150 rooms, and the remaining 64 in the townhouse over the road, the hotel’s 214 rooms come in nine categories: Snug Single and Bunk rooms (perfect crash pads for solo trips or stays with mates), as well as Cosy, Roomy and Biggy rooms (with ‘Up’ iterations for a slightly grander version of each). Edinburgh will also feature three of The Hoxton’s newest room category, House: self-contained three-bed, three-bath homes, ideal for those travelling in larger groups. Launched earlier in the year at The Hoxton, Florence, each House sleeps up to seven guests (plus two kids for family stays) and comes complete with a fully kitted kitchen (including a fridge stocked with essentials), dining area and atmospheric lounge, with one House featuring a private terrace for alfresco living. House guests can also order extra Hox- curated treats throughout their stay: think seasonal blooms, hampers of local produce and more. The Hox team, contactable via WhatsApp, will ensure guests have everything they need during their stay to create a home-awayfrom-home. Houses will be available to book in Edinburgh from September 2025 onwards. Design throughout all rooms play into the building’s Georgian-influenced architecture, with original features meticulously preserved by AIME Studios to celebrate the heritage of the property and Edinburgh as a whole. Cornicing, double height ceilings and impressive sash windows feature throughout many rooms, and headboards across all categories come in a deep raspberry red, with a mix of modern arched silhouettes in some, and a more flamboyant fluted design with a neo-classical feel in others. Walls are two toned in light and dark sage and divided by a dado rail, with whimsical touches such as pineapple coat hooks and fringe skirted armchairs offering a playful nod to the heritage of the townhouses. Brushed brass fixtures set off the mid-century geometric chandeliers in all room types, with patterned rugs and modern, abstract artworks creating an appealing juxtaposition to the original decorative detailing. Bathrooms are white tiled with vintage-style octagon and dot tiled flooring and brass fixtures and fittings, while some larger rooms also include standout design features such as impressive skylights for stargazing while bathing.
Patatino
Patatino, styled like a classic Italian trattoria with striped awning and dramatic florals, and inspired by the long lunches of Sorrento, brings Amalfi Coast energy to Edinburgh with warm hospitality and a relaxed, romantic vibe. Interiors channel the trattoria spirit with theatrical flair complete with mirror motifs, hot pink accents, ambient lighting, and a showstopping Baroque-style fountain surrounded by banquette seating. Rich textures and colour fill the space with deep blue velvet, green corduroy, floral prints, and striped walls, layered to create an opulent yet inviting atmosphere.
Open from morning to night for early breakfasts, celebratory lunches and intimate dinners, Patatino has something for everyone, offering hearty, Italian dishes utilising local Scottish produce with playful twists. The menu kicks off with a breakfast selection including seasonal pastries, lighter fare like Fig and Almond Granola with Yoghurt and Scottish-Italian mashups including Square Sausage, Schiacciata Sandwich and Sourdough Bruschetta. Antipasti, house-made pastas, sourdough pizzas, beef and seafood are introduced for lunch and dinner, with highlights including Deep Fried Spaghetti Squares with Tomato and Spicy Basil Pesto, Arancini with Slow-Cooked Brisket, Pea and Smoked Tomato and Charcoal Focaccia and sourdough pizza topped with ‘Nduja, Haggis, Jalapeño, Hot Honey and Fior di Latte, all of which are perfectly rounded off with classic Italian desserts such as Tiramisù. Drinks include refreshing spritzes, house negronis with fruit mist garnishes, and an all-Italian wine list spanning both traditional and emerging artisan producers.
Event spaces
Playing into Edinburgh’s penchant for performance and grand architecture, the hotel will house a vast ballroomstyle events space: The Get Together. Spread over 300 sqm with its own private bar and stage, The Get Together features concertina doors that allows for the space to split in two and booked separately for more intimate gatherings or bolted together for bigger dos of up to 250 guests, with the larger aptly named The Get Up (165 sqm) and the smaller going by The Get Down (135 sqm). The space is an ideal venue for weddings, live music and even Edinburgh Fringe shows, exuding modern elegance with tiled walls in black and white, a recessed fireplace, a dramatic skylight that bathes the area in natural light, and striking globe pendant lights. Excitingly, the townhouse across the road, home to 64 of the hotel’s rooms, can be exclusively booked to accommodate overnight guests for larger events, making the journey home easier than ever.
Set around an open pantry with a kitchen that can flip into a bar in the evening, Hox’s staple meeting and events space The Apartment comes in at 213 sqm and comprises four private rooms – the Dining Room, Library, Living Room and Drawing Room – which can be hired individually or collectively to host everything from presentations to parties, press days and private dinners. Located on the ground floor, each room is fully equipped with AV and design throughout is classic and pared back, with huge bay windows allowing light to flood the space, light wood and khaki green accents and herringbone parquet flooring.
