art’otel London Hoxton

Hotel Description

So I’ll be honest – when I first heard about art’otel London Hoxton, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the whole “art hotel” concept. You know, sometimes these themed places can feel a bit gimmicky. But walking into this place on Rivington Street completely changed my mind. The moment you step through those doors, you realize they’ve actually pulled off something pretty special here. The artwork isn’t just thrown on walls as an afterthought – it’s woven into everything, from the lobby installations to pieces in each room that actually make you stop and look. What really surprised me was how the artistic vibe doesn’t feel pretentious at all; it’s more like staying in a really cool friend’s loft who happens to have incredible taste.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to experience London beyond the typical tourist bubble. Rivington Street puts you right in the heart of Hoxton, which means you’re walking distance from some of the city’s best independent coffee shops, vintage stores, and those little galleries you’d never find otherwise. I mean, you’re literally around the corner from Brick Lane – and trust me, having proper curry at 2am after exploring the area’s nightlife is something you’ll remember. The Old Street tube station is close enough that getting anywhere in central London is easy, but far enough that you’re not dealing with that constant tourist crowd noise. Actually, one of my favorite discoveries was just wandering down toward Shoreditch High Street in the morning – there’s this whole creative energy in the neighborhood that you can feel, especially on weekends when the markets are buzzing.

What sets this place apart (beyond that impressive 9.4 rating, which honestly feels earned) is how they’ve managed to create something that feels both polished and authentically local. The rooms have this modern industrial vibe that fits perfectly with the area’s converted warehouse aesthetic, but they’re genuinely comfortable – not just Instagram-pretty. The staff actually knows the neighborhood and can point you toward spots that aren’t in every guidebook. I remember asking about where to grab breakfast, and instead of the usual chain recommendations, they sent me to this tiny place two streets over that became my daily ritual. Check-in was smooth, parking isn’t a nightmare if you need it (though honestly, you probably won’t with the tube so close), and the whole experience just felt… right. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because you’ve found your little corner of London, and leaving feels like you’re abandoning a neighborhood you’ve just started to understand.
