Berlin, Baby! The Hoxton, Charlottenburg to Open May 2023

The Hoxton will make its German debut on 8th May and where better to put down its Teutonic roots than the city of Bauhaus, Biergarten and Berghain?! That's right Berliners, your new favourite neighbour is coming to town. Set to open its doors alongside the distinctive Stucco facades of West Berlin, The Hoxton, Charlottenburg will draw stylistic inspiration from the neighbourhood for the design of its 234 bedrooms and public spaces, from the elegant Art Deco motifs of the Golden Twenties to the raw materialism of the Brutalist movement. Bringing something entirely new to the capital's foodie scene, Tandoor Chop House will be serving up spice-filled feasts and natural wines, while casual coffees and light snacks are the order of the day at the adjoining coffee bar. An expansive lobby dotted with vintage furniture, a secluded winter garden and The Apartment, the hotel's 1920s parlour-inspired meeting and events space, complete the scene for Berlin's coolest new hangout. Auf geht's!
