Moxy Hotels are modern and playful spaces that target a younger demographic looking for design-forward spaces with an emphasis on socializing. There are more than 135 Moxy Hotels globally with the first location having opened back in September 2014 in Milan, Italy. The brand is part of Marriott’s massive portfolio of over 30 brands and part of the Marriott Bonvoy® loyalty program.
Some of Moxy’s allure lies in the fun and innovation that it brings to the hospitality industry. Guests check in at the bar with complimentary cocktails and are encouraged to socialize in the interactive lobby spaces that transition from morning to night.
The Moxy experience includes the following brand differentiators:
- Innovative Check-In Experience: At Moxy Hotels, the bar serves a dual purpose as the check-in area and guests are offered a complimentary welcome cocktail.
- Moxy Hookups: Moxy offers hotel amenities called Moxy “Hookups” that are creative, social perks randomly gifted to guests.
- Moxy Pickups: Grab-and-go stations offer guests additional retail options 24 hours a day.
- Social-Forward Spaces: Moxy’s lobbies are designed to be social with live music, pop-up shops, dance parties, and bar takeovers.
- Smart and Stylish Rooms: Moxy’s guest rooms are compact, yet cleverly designed. Rooms feature the Signature peg wall, which allows guests to hang clothes and other items.
- Unique Digital Guestbook: Moxy was one of the first brands to leverage user-generated content into a digital interactive platform. It now provides recommendations for travelers by fellow guests and locals alike.
- Global Footprint: Moxy has over 135 properties in 29 countries, with many more in the pipeline.
John Toomey, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer of Marriott International, Asia Pacific (excluding China), said:
As Moxy celebrates this significant milestone, the brand remains committed to its mission of providing a fun, dynamic, and stylish hotel experience tailored for the next-gen ‘always-on’ guests. Designed for those who are young at heart and on the hunt for new experiences, Moxy offers a playful and engaging environment at an approachable price point without sacrificing style. With plans for further expansion and exciting new initiatives on the horizon, Moxy is set to continue its journey as a disruptor in the select service space.”
Anthony’s Take: I’ve stayed at Moxy Hotels in New York, California, and Germany. I’m excited to check out one of the newest locations in St. Petersburg (more here). While I’m not the ideal demo for these hotels, I can appreciate the fun and amenities that they offer. Happy Anniversary!
