New hotel Moxy delays opening for fourth time as building starts to take shape

A new hotel just off the M32 has delayed its opening for a fourth time, as pictures show the building taking shape.

Moxy is part of the Marriott chain, and will house 214 rooms over seven storeys along Newfoundland Street, just across from Cabot Circus.

The £16m hotel had planned on opening in 2020, but an update on its website says it now won’t be up and running until March 2022.

Developer Vastint Hospitality previously told BristolLive the coronavirus pandemic and poor weather have both contributed to construction setbacks.

The hotel, situated on the main route into the centre from the M32, was set to open in early 2020, then autumn 2020, spring 2021, the latter quarter of 2021, and now has its sights set on March 2022.

Its website, where you’ll find pictures of what the hotel is set to look like, states: “New hotel, opening March 2022.”

Moxy pitches itself as a “relaxed and stylish” boutique city centre hotel.

“Want to know what makes Moxy Bristol a boutique hotel at its heart?," it says, "the bright and open lobby where guests’ check-in at the bar (first drink on us!), or the social spaces with cool, comfy seating, and large work-desk with charging points galore.

"Whether you’re a couple in town for some R&R, a family (yes, including the dog!) headed for a staycation near to Bath, or a business or leisure traveller who wants a relaxed, stylish hotel in Bristol City Centre, you’re sure to feel at home."

Moxy has hotels in the USA, Asia and Europe, including a dozen already operating in the UK.
