Review

Occupying the site of the old Rosenwach Factory—the manufacturer of New York’s iconic wooden water towers that still dot the skyline—the Hoxton was built as both a workplace for local creatives as well as a hotel. The massive lobby, with its exposed brick walls and highly arched ceiling, pays homage to the site’s former life, while its stylish accommodations and retro furnishings add the perfect amount of trendiness.

All 175 rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that boast views of the New York skyline. The rooms offer king-sized beds, dark wood-paneled writing desks and contemporary lighting fixtures. Though relatively small, even for New York standards, rooms feature thoughtful touches such as linens designed by New York’s own Dusen Dusen and the signature ‘Little Breakfast,’ a small selection of goodies that await guests outside their rooms each morning.

Perhaps the most stunning of the Hoxton’s three bars and four event spaces is the rooftop restaurant, Summerly. Fully equipped with a lounge area, day beds and large seating area, the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. (However, the service can be inconsistent.)

While the Hoxton encourages guests and locals to lounge and relax throughout its many public spaces, the hotel lacks a spa and gym. That being said, if you’re looking to get your blood flowing, the hotel offers guests complimentary bicycles to explore the neighborhood.
