The Hoxton in Shepherd's Bush is the latest London location to open and it is designed by AIME Studios. The boutique hotel has a retro inspiration and features 237 rooms along with a Thai-Americana restaurant dubbed 'Chet's.' It welcomes guests with a spacious lobby and a tranquil terrace for relaxing.
The color palette features earthy tones and then is decorated with vintage furniture, rounded out by a communal bar in the center. The interior design celebrates the local areas with nods to the local London Transport Museum Depot with the retro transport themes that can be seen in the form of iconic train carriage shapes, glass chandeliers and pendant lighting with metal accents, and custom rugs.
