"While it was great to see the old Central Hotel on Exchequer Street relaunch recently as The Hoxton, it's not the only hotel in the area to have had a bucket of money thrown at her in order to cater for what is now being called the Creative Quarter, once the centre for the wholesale fashion industry, and these days very much a centre of nightlife and daytime shopping."
"Anyone who parks in Drury Street Car Park will be quite familiar with Brooks Hotel directly across the road. Indeed, I often park in there when I'm on a restaurant or shopping mission, with the warren of criss-cross streets en route across to Grafton and Dawson Street being lined with an always interesting mish mash of small boutiques, galleries, jewellery stores, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and so on."
Brooks Hotel on Drury Street received a major refurbishment funded by the John Malone–backed MHL Group. The renovation upgraded a hotel located opposite Drury Street Car Park and improved its appeal for visitors to the surrounding Creative Quarter. The Creative Quarter evolved from the centre of the wholesale fashion industry into a hub of nightlife and daytime shopping. Nearby the old Central Hotel on Exchequer Street relaunched as The Hoxton. The streets leading to Grafton and Dawson are a warren of criss-cross lanes lined with boutiques, galleries, jewellery stores, cafes, pubs and restaurants, attracting shopping and dining visitors.
