More about us… The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love.

We want to be more than that.

Deal with the coming and going of guests, making sure all bills are correct and contain no surprises.

You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
It's all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you'd want to stop and chat to.
