About Moxy

Moxy trades small bedrooms for large communal spaces and a bar at check-in, aimed at younger travellers who spend little time in the room. It is Marriott's answer to the design-led budget operators that grew across Europe. Marriott developed it with a European designer and launched it in Milan rather than the United States, which is unusual for an American hotel brand.
