The Hoxton has decided to open its doors in Rome this spring, after a particularly challenging year for the travel industry with the hope to start recovery. The property was initially scheduled to open in late 2020, but was delayed by COVID-19. Coming as the tenth hotel for the brand, the Hoxton, Rome features 192 bedrooms, a large coffee bar and takeaway counter, a light-flooded restaurant, and a beautiful outdoor terrace perfect for lapping up the Italian sunshine.
Located in the tip of the Parioli neighbourhood, the hotel has some of the city’s most beautiful parks and best neighbourhoods on its doorstep. Leafy Villa Borghese is in easy walking distance for guests to explore, as is the Coppede district, a charming area peppered with Art Nouveau buildings. The Ennismore Design Studio have also impressively transformed the 1970s building into a Hoxton, collaborating with Fettle Design for the public spaces, taking cues from the building’s original details and the rich architecture of the Eternal City.
The hotel’s 192 bedrooms draw references from the nostalgic interiors of classic Italian cinema, for which Rome is celebrated. These will feature rustic parquet floors, lacquered timbers and local stones, while the brightly coloured bathrooms nod to mid-century Italian design. Each room will feature rich timber wall panelling, a bespoke statement headboard and an eclectic mix of furniture. Some of the larger features of the property are the striking Murano glass chandeliers reclaimed from the building.
