Room 2 Southampton is housed in a former office building which dates from the 1990's. Ithas been designed by Project Orange – a Shoreditch-based design studio with a focus on ‘design, comfort and value’.
The interior features are not dissimilar to those found on board traditional cruise liners, a nod towards the importance of Southampton in trans-Atlantic travel.
Room 2 has 71 studio rooms each with a fully equipped kitchen, work table, rainfall showers, free wi-fi, screen mirroring TV, a king sized bed and air conditioning.
Long-term locker spaces are available for guests working away from home for long spells so they can leave items over the weekend and return on Monday.

Further Room 2 projects are on the drawing board with one planned to open in Manchester in 2020.
Room 2 is located at 1-8 Queens Terrace in Southampton.
