art'otel London Hoxton can host a standing reception for up to 350 guests on its 24th floor, a screening or panel for 120 in its lower-ground gallery, and smaller dinners and meetings across its bars, suites and rooftop restaurant. The hotel stands at 1-3 Rivington Street in Shoreditch, east London, a three-minute walk from Old Street station, and keeps an art collection on every floor.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has meeting and conference rooms, and its events team works across six spaces. Panorama London on the 24th floor suits launches, receptions and parties, with views around the city. The Gallery and Screening Room on the lower ground floor has built-in audio-visual equipment and an LED ceiling whose color can be changed, which suits screenings, panels and exhibitions. The Brush Lounge and Bar on the first floor can be taken over for tastings, and the Skyline Suites on the 23rd floor are hotel suites set up for small dinners and gatherings. An events brochure and a Panorama factsheet are available from the hotel.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel lists weddings and celebrations among its events. Panorama London and Solaya give a reception a view over the skyline, and the Skyline Suites suit a small dinner after a ceremony held elsewhere. The site gives no wedding-specific capacities.
Rooms and capacities
The largest figure the hotel states is 350 guests standing on the 24th floor. The Gallery takes up to 120. Solaya, on the 25th floor, is laid out in a circle with views in every direction. One Rivington, a separate venue on five floors with an industrial interior and full-height glazing, is linked from the hotel's events page. Capacities by layout are listed in the brochure rather than on the site.
Accommodation
Bedrooms range from Art Rooms and Art Studios to Skyline Junior Suites and Masterpiece Suites, up to suites with three bedrooms, so speakers and delegates can stay in the building. The hotel also has a spa.
Catering
Solaya, the French and Mediterranean restaurant and bar on the 25th floor, is curated by Michelin-starred chef Kenny Atkinson. On the ground floor, The Brush serves food and drinks all day and has an outdoor terrace. Alcohol is served from noon to 2:00, and outside food and drink may be possible under conditions set by the hotel.
History and setting
The interior was designed with Eyal Shoan of Digital Space, and work by the artist D*Face runs through the building, alongside two original Banksy pieces. A gallery shows emerging artists, and an artist-in-residence program changes over the year.
Getting there
Old Street on the Northern line is about three minutes away on foot via the Cowper Street exit, Liverpool Street about ten minutes, and King's Cross St Pancras around 15 minutes by Tube. Union Car Parks and NCP Finsbury Square are within ten minutes' walk.
