How Miele Professional is helping The Hoxton ‘dish’ out the best co-working experience
A co-working space that feels like home
With The Hoxton’s comfortable lobbies serving as the un-official workplace of choice for ‘laptop warriors’ since 2006, the hotel stepped up its co-working offerings by launching ‘Working From_’. This initiative was developed to accommodate all the practicalities you’d expect from a co-working space, along with plenty of Hoxton ‘extras’. Perks include cosy corners, desks with a view, a ‘help yourself’ pantry – and even daybeds built for dreaming!
In 2019, The Hoxton opened Working From_Southwark within its hotel in Central London. Designed by AIME Studios, it caters to all working styles and moods and is perfect for those who can’t stand gloomy offices or dull working environments. Floor-to-ceiling windows are installed on each of its five floors meaning natural light floods each space. Visitors are not only able to enjoy the views of the city but can also take advantage of the bright and airy environment.
"Our hotel has a high specification across most of its products and we needed a quality solution that could work effectively for both staff and guests. We were already using Miele Professional dishwashing equipment and were impressed by their durability, longevity and efficiency. With Miele having such a strong reputation, we decided to replace like for like. It was the best option for us."
Helping guests refresh with no mess
Working From_Southwark is situated on floors 7-12 of The Hoxton and typically has a footfall of around 550 people per day. With rooms ranging from private studios and meeting rooms to a lounge area and a members only café, its dishwashers are in high demand throughout the day and evening. To keep up with the steady flow of mugs, plates, and cutlery being used by its visitors, Hoxton needed a professional solution they could count on to wash items both quickly and thoroughly.
Sarah Parker, General Manager at Working From_ said: “Our hotel has a high specification across most of its products and we needed a quality solution that could work effectively for both staff and guests. We were already using Miele Professional dishwashing equipment and were impressed by their durability, longevity and efficiency. With Miele having such a strong reputation, we decided to replace like for like. It was the best option for us.”
After closely working with Miele Professional and its installation partner, GW Commercial Equipment, to select the most suitable solution for its requirements, Hoxton chose to replace three of its ten Miele dishwashers with a model from the ProfiLine range. The PFD 104 SCVi XXL is a fully integrated front-loaded dishwasher – ideal for processing large amounts of crockery. Its shortest programme duration is as little as 20 minutes whilst its freshwater system delivers a constantly high cleaning performance. For maximum hygiene assurance, the dishwasher is also scientifically proven to remove 99.9% of viruses.
“Working From_Southwark provides its visitors with a unique co-working experience and we’re delighted that our solutions are the perfect fit for its innovative spaces. Co-working facilities are becoming increasingly popular and it’s important that equipment is not only highly reliable for continuous use, but easy-to-use for a diverse range of users. We look forward in continuing our lasting relationship with The Hoxton.”
To make the user experience as friendly as possible for Working From_Southwark visitors and staff, the ProfiLine features practical extras (available across most models in the range). This includes its 3D MultiFlex tray which helps create space for even the smallest items; intelligent basket designs to accommodate all types of dishes; and a selection of bespoke programmes that can clean materials such as glass and plastic. To support the Hoxton’s green credentials, the dishwashers boast low consumption values and offer an ECO/energy saving programme.
