Discover three hotels by The Hoxton, where a design-led, ‘home-from-home’ approach creates an instantly inviting place to rest, enjoy a new perspective on the city, and work comfortably abroad.
The Hoxton Lloyd Amsterdam features a European brasserie called The Breman, named after the historic building’s architect.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The Hoxton Lloyd brings you to a lesser-known area of Amsterdam, the Eastern Docklands, that has been completely reinvigorated by modern architecture in recent years. As The Hoxton’s second hotel in Amsterdam, Lloyd tunes into a quieter pace and a local’s lifestyle, the hotel shares its neighbourhood with an original Dutch windmill, while being just a ten-minute bike ride from the historic city centre.
What makes this hotel particularly special is the historic Lloyd Building in which it resides, initially commissioned by the Royal Holland Lloyd Shipping Company in 1921 and designed by architect Evert Breman. The building now comprises 136 bedrooms, a European brasserie called The Breman (named after the architect) and a Lobby Bar for cocktails.
Reflecting the same distinct flavour of interiors that The Hoxton are known for, thanks to AIME Studios, the hotel also renewed its collaboration with local interior design studio Nicemakers, who worked on The Hoxton’s first Amsterdam outpost. Attuned to the landmark building’s unique architectural style and the Art Deco period in which it was built, the collaborators restored the stained-glass windows, wooden panels and original tiles. They then introduced graphic patterns, vintage pieces and chrome and bronze fixtures, warmed by a dominant palette of red, coral and ochre, subdued by blue and grey tones.
Amid its rich design details, The Hoxton Lloyd Amsterdam offers a place to both enjoy the city’s canals and quaint architecture, but also find time to unwind away from the bustle.

The Hoxton Brussels
Brussels, Belgium
The Hoxton Brussels considers the city’s contemporary design DNA; a short walk to the historic centre and bordering the city’s Botanical Gardens. The hotel’s generously sized 198 rooms take in views of the city from floors 13 to 21, framed by exposed concrete and ‘retro’ bold stripes, graphic rugs, velvet, and warm wood finishes.
As the group’s Belgian debut, the hotel describes its interiors as 1970s brutalism-meets-botany, a credit to its design team AIME Studios. Most of the vintage pieces have been sourced from Belgian brocantes and antique stores, working in with a colour palette of green, midnight blue and yellow, and lots of indoor planting.
The Hoxton Brussels is particularly favourable if you’re working away, with its coworking space Working From_. The hotel also features a Brussels Apartment, designed for events or as a team meeting space. When it comes to hospitality, you can enjoy drinks and Peruvian-inspired cuisine from the rooftop venue Tope, or at the lofty lobby bar and restaurant called Cantina Valentina, with commissioned murals from local artists Madeleine Schilling and Claire de Quénetain.
The Hoxton Brussels is the perfect host for the design-inclined individual working from afar, with all of the comforts that make leaving all the more difficult.

The Hoxton Shepherd’s Bush
London, England
The Hoxton Shepherd’s Bush, with interiors by AIME Studios, draws you in from the moment you step inside the open lobby. Guests lounge on expressive 1970s vintage and bespoke furniture, under mid-century modern lighting, warmed by custom rugs from Holmes Bespoke, sourced locally, and panelled aubergine walls. A focal wraparound bar crafted from reeded maple and Salome grey marble features a curved, chrome gantry. Large artworks by local artists Cece Philips and Hannah Ludlow, as well as a mural by Colette Lavette, add to this engaging play of colour, tactility, and pattern. Adjacent, Chet’s, the hotel’s Thai-Americana restaurant embodies the hotel’s nostalgic, Wes Anderson-inspired personality, with diner-style tables, plum-coloured bar stools and a two-tone timber diamond cookline.
Inside the hotel’s 237 retro-inspired bedrooms, the Shepherd’s Bush Green outlook makes you feel as though you’re sitting among the green’s treetops. The area’s history is felt through the scalloped edges of bedheads and lamp shades nodding to the nearby architectural facets, layered with copper and antique brass lighting, and warm timber accents. Prints were commissioned specially for the room by West London artist Laura Wickstead, while the bathrooms are a soothing combination of pistachio, bottle green and chrome fixtures.
From every angle, The Hoxton Shepherd’s Bush is a genuine celebration of the diverse culture and creativity of its West London community.
