The Hoxton has made its Scotland debut with the opening of the Hoxton, Edinburgh in the city’s vibrant West End.
Designed by AIME Studios (Ennismore’s in-house design studio), the hotel transforms 11 Georgian-inspired townhouses into a layered and lively destination that blends heritage charm with signature Hoxton style.
A warm welcome
Lobby seating area
A warm, eclectic spirit welcomes guests upon arrival. The lobby features layered materials and vintage-inspired textures, with white-and-gray checkerboard tiling, scalloped detailing, and timber parquet flooring guiding the flow. A vintage amber Murano glass chandelier suspends above, while inviting nooks and midcentury lounge chairs create moments for pause.
The brass-wrapped lobby bar—accented by peach tile and mirrored beer taps—nods to traditional taprooms, and a five-seat screening room tucked just off the space offers a cozy cinematic retreat with burgundy velvet seating.
A tapestry by local artist Jasmine Linington and a custom mural by Verity Woolley add a tactile touch as well.
Guestrooms at the Hoxton, Edinburgh
Biggy Up guestroom
The 214 accommodations, spread across nine room categories, draw from the building’s Georgian roots. AIME preserved original details—such as cornicing, sash windows, and soaring ceilings—while introducing playful modern elements, like raspberry-hued headboards, brushed brass fixtures, and midcentury chandeliers.
Walls are painted in contrasting sage tones, divided by a dado rail, with whimsical details like pineapple-shaped coat hooks and fringe-skirted armchairs that add a playful contrast to the classical backdrop.
Bathrooms feature white subway tiles, octagon-and-dot flooring, and vintage-inspired brass fixtures. Select rooms include skylights for a stargazing moment while soaking.
F&B and events
Patatino restaurant
Anchoring the F&B offerings is Patatino, a trattoria-style restaurant that channels the leisurely spirit of long Italian lunches. Inspired by the Amalfi Coast and styled with theatrical flair, the space features mirror motifs, striped awnings, floral prints, and a dramatic Baroque-style fountain surrounded by banquettes. Rich textures and jewel-toned finishes—including deep blue velvet, green corduroy, and hot pink accents—conjure a layered, romantic setting.
Tailored to Edinburgh’s cultural and architectural grandeur, the Hoxton offers two distinct event concepts. The Get Together, a 3,230-square-foot, ballroom-style venue with a private bar and built-in stage, can host up to 250 guests. Concertina doors allow the space to be split for smaller gatherings.
Meanwhile the Apartment, a hallmark of Hoxton properties, comprises four flexible rooms surrounding a communal pantry with a kitchen that transitions into a bar by evening. Located on the ground floor, the space features herringbone parquet flooring, khaki green accents, and oversized bay windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
