"The year's hottest hotel ticket has finally opened. So how does the Dublin edition fare?"
"Almost 20 years since The Hoxton debuted in London's Shoreditch, it and brands like Ace have changed how we think of hotels."
"Walls between work and play have been broken (think 'living rooms' instead of lobbies); rooftop bars and retail shelves are now the norm, widely copied and built upon (hello, Dean Group!)."
The Dublin edition of a high-profile hotel has opened, marking continued expansion of a hospitality model that began nearly 20 years ago in Shoreditch. The Hoxton and brands such as Ace redefined hotel design by merging social, work, and leisure functions. Lobbies have been reconceived as living rooms, encouraging communal use, while rooftop bars and in-house retail shelves have become expected amenities. Those features have been widely replicated and further developed by groups like Dean Group. The result is hotels that prioritize social interaction, flexible workspaces, and retail experiences alongside traditional accommodation services.
