Tina Edmundson, global brand officer for Marriott International’s luxury and lifestyle brands, said: “Moxy is the essence of the next generation traveller, not only Gen X and Y but guests with a younger sensibility, for whom contemporary style is paramount. Every aspect of Moxy Hotels has been thoughtfully researched and crafted to reflect and deliver on the ever changing lifestyles and expectations of this rapidly growing customer segment.”
Inter Hospitality, a subsidiary of Ikea Group, is the owner and developer of the hotel, while Nordic Hospitality is the franchisee.
Marriott International Europe president and managing director Amy McPherson said: “We are delighted to launch the highly anticipated Moxy Milan, our first Moxy hotel that introduces an exciting and affordable hotel design concept to Europe. Investor interest has been exceptional and to date we have signed 11 Moxy hotels, all due to open throughout Europe by the end of 2016.”
