The Hoxton in Shepherd's Bush is the latest London location to open and it is designed by [AIME Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoxton-charlottenburg). The boutique hotel has a [retro inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-los-monteros-hotel) and features 237 rooms along with a Thai-Americana restaurant dubbed 'Chet's.' It welcomes guests with a spacious lobby and a tranquil terrace for relaxing.

The color palette features earthy tones and then is decorated with vintage furniture, rounded out by a communal bar in the center. The interior design celebrates the local areas with nods to the local [London Transport Museum Depot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park-house) with the retro transport themes that can be seen in the form of iconic train carriage shapes, glass chandeliers and pendant lighting with metal accents, and custom rugs.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Retro Design Hotels:** There's a significant opportunity for businesses to create boutique hotels with retro designs and themed decor to capitalize on travelers' desires for authentic and unique experiences.
- **Locally-inspired Interiors:** As travelers seek deeper connections with the places they visit, businesses have an opportunity to create locally-inspired interiors that celebrate the unique culture and history of the location.
- **Communal Spaces and Amenities:** Hotels can further differentiate themselves from competitors by creating communal spaces and amenities that bring guests together and foster a sense of community during their stay.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Hospitality Industry:** There's a significant opportunity for the hospitality industry to create distinct and unique hotel experiences to meet travelers' desires for authenticity and a sense of community during their stay.
- **Interior Design Industry:** The interior design industry can capitalize on the demand for retro-inspired designs and locally-themed decor by providing creative and innovative design solutions to hotels and other businesses looking to differentiate themselves.
- **Food Industry:** Restaurants like 'Chet's' at The Hoxton Shepherd's Bush can take advantage of travelers' desire for unique and authentic dining experiences by incorporating local and cultural flavors into their menus.
