Created in partnership with Nordic Hospitality and with Inter Hospitality Holding as the owner and developer of the first six properties, Moxy Hotels is one of the newest brands within the Marriott International global portfolio. Each hotel will be designed with the latest in technology so guests can connect amidst inviting social spaces with self-sufficient service elements.

Each room will feature a floor to ceiling signature “art wall” that reflects the destination, upscale bath amenities, large flat screen televisions and built-in USB ports located throughout the room.

Adaptable public spaces will invite guests to relax and socialise, offering healthy continental breakfast options each morning and a bar/lounge atmosphere in the evening featuring wines by the glass and local beer.

Each Moxy Hotel will offer “Plug and Meet” meeting spaces throughout the public space, designed with stylish ergonomic seating, writing walls and large television screens for presentation projection. The lobby space will also include computers available to guests and a 24/7 market for snacks on the go.

In keeping with Marriott International’s commitment to sustainability, each Moxy Hotel is expected to meet the requirements for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Moxy Hotels will be part of Marriott Rewards, Marriott International’s global guest loyalty program.
