The Hoxton has officially opened its doors in Edinburgh, marking the brand’s Scottish debut with a confident, characterful transformation of 11 Georgian-inspired terraced townhouses in the city’s elegant West End.
The moment you enter, you’re met with an eye-catching mural by artist Verity Woolley and the amber glow of a vintage Murano glass chandelier — a fitting prelude to a space where tradition and contemporary creativity collide. Lounge areas, cleverly arranged around original columns, feature scalloped detailing, mid-century armchairs and bold geometric textiles, giving an effortless balance to the building’s historic bones. The showpiece lobby bar, styled as a classic tap room, offers all-day flexibility: a place for remote working by day and whisky-fuelled conviviality by night.
Tucked just off the main space is a plush, five-seater velvet screening room, curated in partnership with local cinephiles Cinetopia. It’s the kind of charming surprise The Hoxton has become known for.
Spread across both sides of the street, the hotel comprises 214 rooms across nine categories. Highlights include the brand’s new ‘House’ room type: three-bedroom, three-bath homes perfect for group travel or extended stays. Throughout the property, AIME Studios has meticulously preserved the building’s Georgian proportions and architectural integrity, celebrating the history of Edinburgh while adding fresh, playful touches.
Expect sweeping sash windows, double-height ceilings, intricate cornicing — and design details that nod to the city’s layered aesthetic, from subtle tartan motifs to vintage brassware.
Downstairs, Patatino channels Italian trattoria soul with a spirited Edinburgh twist. Think striped awnings, exuberant floral arrangements and a Mediterranean-leaning menu that leans into seasonal Scottish produce. Open from breakfast to late, Patatino delivers long Sorrentine-style lunches, candlelit suppers, and heartfelt hospitality that invites lingering.
In a city famed for performance, The Hoxton doesn’t disappoint. The hotel’s 300 sqm ballroom-style venue, The Get Together, features its own bar, stage and partitionable spaces, making it ideal for weddings, live gigs or even Edinburgh Fringe performances. Flooded with light from a central skylight and lit by globe pendants, it blends grandeur with contemporary cool.
The Apartment, The Hoxton’s signature events concept, also arrives in Edinburgh. Its four flexible rooms — the Library, Drawing Room, Living Room and Dining Room — surround an open pantry and kitchen that transforms into an evening bar. It’s tailor-made for everything from private dinners and creative workshops to board meetings and brand activations.
True to brand ethos, The Hoxton Edinburgh works closely with local creatives and causes. The launch of Hox Galleryspotlights fine art photographer Soo Burnell, whose serene, architectural portraits of public swimming pools will be the opening exhibition. In a partnership with Scotland’s leading youth homelessness charity Rock Trust, £1 will be added to every food and drink bill to directly support those in need.
Guests also enjoy complimentary Brompton bike hire and mates’ rates at Hot Yoga and PedalHouse, offering smart ways to explore the city while staying active.
On the retail front, the in-house concept store Best Of celebrates Edinburgh’s vibrant maker scene. Expect limited-edition silk scarves from Simo The Label x Patatino, sustainable wool pieces by TBCo, graphic prints from Max Machen, witty Pieute t-shirts and more.
Set within the leafy West End, just steps from Haymarket Station and directly on the city’s newly expanded tram line, The Hoxton Edinburgh places guests in one of the city’s most liveable and architecturally rich neighbourhoods. With easy access to the New Town, Murrayfield, Castle Rock and Arthur’s Seat, it’s an ideal base for city explorers, festival-goers and business travellers alike.
The area’s fusion of Georgian elegance, cultural vibrancy and creative energy makes it a natural fit for The Hoxton — and a standout addition to Edinburgh’s hotel scene.
