The double-decker hotel, which opened its doors today three months ahead of schedule, marks the first time Marriott International has combined two hotel brands under one roof in the UK.
Occupying the lower four floors, the lifestyle-driven Moxy Slough offers 152 guest rooms, including 28 twin and eight accessible rooms. In tribute to the town’s longstanding connections to the iconic Thunderbirds TV series, filmed on the nearby Slough Trading Estate, the hotel’s stylish décor incorporates subtle pop-art wall graphics and signage celebrating the Gerry & Sylvia Anderson puppet show and local heritage.
With 92 suites, Residence Inn by Marriott Slough is designed to give longer-staying guests a more home-from-home experience, complete with extra living space and fully-equipped kitchen. It becomes the first branded extended-stay property in Slough and the surrounding area, with many of its ninth-floor rooms and public spaces offering views of the London skyline.
Whilst each hotel has its own entrance and reception, the dual-brand concept lets corporate and leisure guests choose the space that best fits their travel needs, while encouraging them to take advantage of both hotels’ shared facilities. These include six meeting rooms and four larger interconnecting event spaces, a well-equipped 24/7 fitness studio and a ninth floor Residence Inn outdoor terrace. Guests can also choose between the ground-floor Moxy Bar and the Residence Inn Bar & Lounge, which serve meals and drinks throughout the day and night.
Both hotels are operated by special hotel management company Cycas Hospitality.
