The upscale Parioli neighbourhood location sets the tone for the stylish sanctuary that awaits in The Hoxton. Housed in a transformed 1970s modernist building, this hip addition to Rome’s hotel scene buzzes with a vibrant atmosphere. From the retro furnishings sourced from local markets, to the rustic parquet floors and elegant marble accents, the communal areas are invitingly trendy, while the outdoor space offers a refreshing retreat for kicking back amidst lush greenery. Set away from the action of the city, it provides a more tranquil city bolthole where you can live like a local and explore the contemporary art galleries of nearby MACRO (Museum of Contemporary Art) and MAXXI (National Museum of 21st Century Art).
Each of the 192 meticulously curated rooms blend cinematic allure with bespoke headboards, Murano glass chandeliers and sun-drenched terraces in selected rooms. From Shoebox to Biggy, they offer a range of sizes but all come with comfy mattresses and blackout blinds to encourage a good night’s sleep. Freshly baked pastries and coffee at Cugino will prepare you for a day of Roman living, and it will welcome you back with an aperitivo and antipasti. For a fun-filled gastronomic journey, Elio has become a popular spot that celebrates the flavours, energy and aromas of a sun-filled Italian getaway.
