The Hoxton will open its doors in Exchequer Street in November, marking the brand’s first property in Ireland.
The restored Victorian building (once the the Central Hotel) will offer 129 rooms.
The bedrooms come in classic Hox categories including Snug, Cosy, Roomy and Biggy, with colour palettes taking inspiration from an autumnal Irish landscape (leafy greens, auburns and deep browns).
The design of the rooms pairs traditional, decorative elements like scalloping and fringing, with contemporary details.
With Ennismore’s in-house design team at AIME Studios leading on design throughout the hotel, the Lobby Bar and lounge on entry is, in true Hox-fashion, ‘homey yet refined.’
With nods to the traditional Irish pub, the space plays with more stripped back, industrial elements for a contemporary feel, and pays tribute to the Viking history of the site discovered during development.
Offered up as the ‘neighbourhood’s unofficial living room,’ the atmosphere will shift with the day – laptops and lattes give way to spritzes and small plates, with a curated drinks list featuring wines, house cocktails and local favourites.
Meanwhile, Cantina Valentina, the hotel’s ground-floor restaurant and bar, serves up Peruvian flavours all-day. With the concept already well-established at The Hoxton, Brussels, Cantina Valentina aims to blend the warmth of a traditional family-run picantería with a modern, playful spirit from the food and drinks to the design and atmosphere.
Another dining option is Dollars, a laidback sandwich shop inspired by New York deli culture. It will offer loaded sandwiches, sweet treats or artisanal coffee by day, or a chilled glass of wine and bar snacks in the evening.
Groundwork will be a first for Cox. It is a basement nightlife venue celebrating community, inclusiveness and classic club culture.
In addition, locals will be pleased to hear that The Library Bar will be returning. The design of the space intends to honour the rich history of The Library Bar, with traditional furniture and dark timber finishes to breathe new life into the local landmark.
