Moxy Hotels, Marriott International’s experiential hotel brand, announced that it has opened the doors of Moxy Milton Keynes yesterday (18/06).
The brand-new 210 bedroom hotel located in The Hub, aims to cater for both business and recreational customers alike with their unique designs and facilities.
In traditional Moxy style, each new hotel is given a distinct theme as a nod to the locality of the area. Due to only being a few miles from Silverstone Racing Circuit, Moxy Milton Keynes boasts a motor-racing theme with a race track installed across the walls, a huge Formula One track chandelier in the lobby and a host of racing graffiti and memorabilia.
Upon arrival, guests will check-in at the ground floor bar where they will be greeted with a complimentary cocktail. The hotel’s lobby will offer fun games and activities as well as a high-tech communal hang-out area - complete with chill-out zones for co-working and casual meetings.
A series of DJs nights are set to bring the bar area alive, accompanied by hand-crafted cocktails and plates of tapas. For some added fun, guests will get the chance to race a Formula One remote-controlled race car in the lobby.
Taking the helm as Captain, Moxy Hotels’ take on a General Manager, is Leanne Roberts. Originally from Cambridgeshire, Roberts has been in the hospitality industry since the age of 17, working her way up the ranks in hotels.
Roberts expressed her pride in the new location as well as the team operating behind the scenes as she commented: "I know Milton Keynes well and Moxy’s playful spirit and unconventional hotel experience will bring something completely new to the area that will appeal to guests, locals and residents at our location in The Hub.
"I’m especially proud of the team that has been brought on board, thanks to their wide-ranging skill sets that will bring an approachable and fun guest experience."
Donovan Sumner, Regional Director of Operations UK and Italy for Hotel Co. 51, the operating company for Moxy Milton Keynes, added: "We are really excited to bring Moxy to this town utilising Leanne’s local knowledge and experience to lead this stand out opening.
"The Hub is a great location and as always, we continue to push the boundaries of what guests expect. We always put a lot of thought into each hotel’s unique design theme, the technology available for guests as well as getting a great night’s sleep.
"As we carry on opening more hotels, it’s evident that we’ve got the formula right."
