The Hoxton Hotel’s Guide To Endearing Yourself To The Local Community

RECENT Dublin addition The Hoxton Hotel, on the site of the former Central Hotel, is serving up a masterclass on how to endear yourself to the local community after pursuing neighbouring venue Yamamori Izakaya over noise complaints. This despite, their own plans to open a nightclub on their premises.

Helpfully, the British hotel chain Hoxton has shared with WWN this indispensable guide on how to win people over with, and graciously say any other new business seeking to go on the charm offensive is free to use it:

Spend months carrying out noisy refurbishment works, then complain about the noise of late night venue which was there long before you showed up.

Change the name of the historic hotel which you now own.

Post a pic of an all-foam Guinness with the caption “can’t put a price on a good pint, but we’ll try anyway – €12”.

Lay a wreath at Dublin Castle for all the British servicemen injured and killed during 1916.

Write a negative 0-star Google review of nearby ‘The George’ making sure to complain about how much of a good time people seem to be having.

Make sure you’re official address uses the term ‘Southern Ireland’.

Sell Make Gay Spar Straight Again hats in reception.

Invite people to an Irish music might which is just Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl played on repeat.

Express a positive opinion about the Spire.

Giveaway free Dominos pizzas outside Pi Pizza, sign a petition to replace Enable Ireland’s shop with a Temu click and collect store.

Write ‘about time, no one went in there anyway!’ comments under news of long-standing retail fixtures in the community sharing news that they have to shut up shop and close due to rising costs.

Form a rival gentrification group against Dublin’s night time economy groups and then lobby government to turn Dublin off at 10pm.
