Get a room It’s boom time for London hotels, it seems – but it’s not just the big names in the most traditional neighbourhoods who are opening their doors. From Bethnal Green to Grosvenor Square, Lisa Markwell reports on the biggest launches of 2019, and discovers that although they have much-anticipated restaurant, there are exciting ideas behind closed doors too

Eight hotels in, including two already in the capital, and now The Hoxton has opened right in the centre of things. Just south of Blackfriars Bridge, the new hotel is creating buzz already for its stylish, quirky rooms and rooftop Seabird restaurant, created in partnership with the Maison Premiere team. There are 192 bedrooms, from ‘shoebox’ to ‘biggy’, and guests can buy hand-picked products in the lobby – we love Kana ceramics to Blackhorse Denim. The Hoxton is joining the local community and all sorts of events are planned. The ground-floor all-day restaurant Albie will be open to all, and bustling. As you’d expect from Ennismore, every detail is spot on – from the antique and bespoke furniture to light-flooded bedrooms.
