Hoxton, Southwark
Post-industrial lifestyle hotel with a social-club feel. The lobby doubles as a co-working space and neighbourhood hangout, with plants, books and velvet furniture softening the concrete edges. Not a traditional hotel in the least — expect walk-ins grabbing coffee at Albie next to guests checking in.
Snag an outdoor table at Seabird by arriving before 7pm — outside seats are first-come, first-served and go fast on warm evenings
Why It Matters
Purpose-built Hoxton, so rooms are notably more spacious than the group's conversions. Seabird claims London's longest oyster list and draws non-guests from across the city. Green Key certified for sustainability. The only Hoxton with no prior life as another building.
The Hoxton, Southwark is the group's only purpose-built hotel in London — a 14-storey new-build brick tower that opened in 2019, with guest rooms occupying the lower six floors. The house style is post-industrial: concrete ceilings, Crittall-style windows and bare brick walls offset by marble surfaces, panelled headboards, parquet floors and local art curated by Jealous Gallery. The real draw is Seabird on the 14th floor — a rooftop seafood restaurant with panoramic views of the Shard, London Eye and Houses of Parliament that operates as a genuine neighbourhood destination, not just a hotel restaurant.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Biggy
The biggest solo room in the hotel and it earns the name. Window seats built into the wall-to-wall windows, a freestanding wardrobe, parquet floors and a seriously large bathroom with a walk-in waterfall shower. At 375 sq ft, it's spacious even by non-London standards. The go-to choice for anyone wanting a genuinely comfortable stay.
Super King · 35 sqm
Cosy
A step up from the Snug with a bit more breathing room — enough to put a chair in and actually use it. Concrete ceilings, marble surfaces, full-length mirror, parquet floors and a walk-in waterfall shower. Comfortably fits two without feeling squeezed.
Queen · 19 sqmDouble Up
Two interconnecting bedrooms — a king or twin bed in one room, a queen in the other — with two bathrooms and room for up to four adults (five with an added child's bed). Built for families or groups of friends who want to be together but also have their own space. At 450 sq ft, it's the hotel's largest room configuration.
King plus Queen · 42 sqm
Roomy
The name says it all. Genuinely comfortable space for two adults and one child, with wall-to-wall windows, parquet floors and a proper walk-in waterfall shower. The super king configuration is the sweet spot for couples; twins work well for friends travelling together.
Super King or Twin · 20 sqmRoomy Up
The Roomy with extra floor space — feels noticeably more generous. Wall-to-wall windows, parquet floors and a walk-in waterfall shower. Higher floors in this category can offer glimpses of the London Eye cluster. Good upgrade from a standard Roomy for longer stays.
Super King or Twin · 26 sqmSnug
The smallest room in the house — compact and full of character. Not short on style though: wall-to-wall windows, parquet floors, a built-in wardrobe and a waterfall shower. Good for solo travellers or couples who aren't planning to spend much time in the room.
