The Hoxton, Paris—the brand’s largest with 171 guestrooms—will open this summer in an 18th-century hotel particulier, originally conceived by architect Nicolas d’Orbay for Etienne Rivié, an advisor to Louis XV. Today, the hotel’s classic French style mixed with contemporary amenities is a true collaboration between local Parisian design studio Humbert & Poyet (guestrooms); longtime Hoxton partner Soho House (public spaces); and Ennismore’s creative team.
Guestrooms are spread across four room categories, including Shoebox, Cosy, Roomy, and Biggy, named for their unique sizes and shapes. The grandeur of the building is referenced through cornicing, paneling, and reclaimed oak chevron timber flooring, while contemporary feature walls and laminates modernize the spaces. The rooms also pay homage to France during the 19th century and 1950s with light fixtures, woven metal partitions, classic midcentury materials, and details that nod to famous designers including Jean Prouvé and Mathieu Matégo.
Relocated 18th-century spiral staircases, recreated vaulted brick ceilings in the restaurant, Rivié, and reused 17th-century cobbles from the former courtyard create the new grand double-height glazed lobby.
