In the latest issue of Mix Interiors, Harry McKinley covers the recently completed “new landmark” art’otel Hoxton, highlighting the importance of the building’s timeless relationship to the neighbourhood.
Partner Murray Levinson spoke with Mix to explain how the building’s cylindrical form and external detail complement and acknowledge the technological history of the area, in particular the nearby Silicon Roundabout’s role in the development of the computer.
McKinley adds that the building’s architectural scale has allowed for the introduction of “an impressive cluster of flexible, interconnected public and community amenities” at ground and lower ground level, including a “dramatic” main entrance, generous bar and restaurant, “plush” spa and five-metre-high gallery space and screening room. On the upper levels above the 357 guest rooms, this amenity offer is completed by an elevated dining room, conference facilities and agile co-working spaces.
