Moxy Hotels, part of the Marriott Hotels chain, is a brand that seeks to cater for the younger traveller seeking a more modern and technologically innovative service.

Moxy Chester would have 194 bedrooms, a lobby and reception as well as leisure facilities.

Plans have been submitted to construct the hotel on the former Broughton Retail Centre site in Chester.

The former retail centre is already home to a new Waitrose store as well as a pedestrian/cyclist bridge over the Shropshire Union Canal.

Currently there are three Moxy hotels in the UK: one in Aberdeen and two in London, one at ExCeL and the other in Stratford.  

Two new Moxy Hotels open shortly. Moxy London Heathrow Airport is scheduled to open in March. Moxy Glasgow Collegelands is scheduled for a May 2018 opening.

Plans have also been published for possible new Moxy Hotels in Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol.
