The Hoxton makes its Scottish debut
The Hoxton has touched down in Edinburgh’s West End, transforming 11 Georgian-inspired terraced townhouses.
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. The showstopping lobby bar pays 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). 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.
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.
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. 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.
Event spaces
Playing into Edinburgh’s penchant for performance and grand architecture, the hotel will house a vast ballroom-style 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. 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.
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.
Best Of & Local Partners
Always prioritising community and connection, The Hoxton works with partners in their neighbourhoods, supporting local brands and creatives, fostering genuine connections to bring the best of each area into the hotel. Edinburgh’s Hox Gallery – a space dedicated to showcasing local emerging artists – will open with local fine art photographer, Soo Burnell, whose work takes inspiration from architecture, cinematic imagery and human connection.
The Hoxton and Patatino are proud to support Scotland’s leading youth homelessness charity, Rock Trust, adding an optional £1 onto every food and drink bill, with 100% of funds going directly to those in need. Guests looking to stay active while exploring the city can take advantage of complimentary Brompton Bike hire, as well as mates’ rates at Hot Yoga and PedalHouse.

A stone’s throw from the city centre, the hotel serves as an ideal base to visit iconic cultural hotspots such as nearby New Town, Murrayfield Stadium, Castle Rock and Arthur’s Seat. This vibrant area is fast becoming a destination in its own right, loved by locals and visitors for its rich culture, culinary hotspots and elegant historic charm.
