Moxy Hotels, the bold and playful brand known for its vibrant social spaces and spirited service, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month (September). Since its inception in 2014 with the first Moxy Hotel opening in Milan, Moxy has been a disrupter in the hotel space by challenging the status quo, while creating a lighthearted, social atmosphere for modern travellers.

Over the past decade, Moxy, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, has become synonymous with fun and innovation in the hospitality industry, consistently pushing the boundaries of traditional hotel stays. From checking in at the bar with a complimentary cocktail to interactive lobby spaces that transition seamlessly from morning to night, Moxy’s fun and functional design, smart guest rooms, and lively social spaces, have made it a favourite among travellers seeking an immersive stay.

Boasting over 135 properties open in over 25 countries and territories, the Moxy Experience features:

• Innovative Check-In Experience: At Moxy Hotels, the bar serves a dual purpose as the check-in area, and guests are welcomed with a complimentary cocktail, setting the tone for a fun and memorable stay.
• Moxy Hookups: Moxy puts a fresh new twist on the expected hotel amenities with Moxy ‘Hookups,’ creative, social perks gifted randomly to guests daily.
• Moxy Pickups: In addition to the fresh items prepared by the Moxy Crew, the grab and go style pick-ups station offers guests additional options around the clock. A curated selection of items fill the intentionally styled retail space.
• Social-Forward Spaces: Moxy’s lobbies are designed to be the social heart of the hotel, encouraging guests to mingle and connect. From live music to pop-up shops, dance parties and bar takeovers, Moxy Hotels around the world have their own lobby activations to keep them buzzing.
• Smart and Stylish Rooms: Moxy’s guest rooms are compact yet cleverly designed, offering everything travellers need for a comfortable stay. One of these is the Signature peg wall, a versatile wall feature to maximize space and functionality in all rooms, allowing 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 at each property, creating a unique and engaging guest experience. With the user generated content, Moxy Hotels are able to provide recommendations for travelers by fellow travelers and locals alike.

“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,” says Marriott exec John Toomey. “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.”
