Hoxton Hotels
The newest brand addition to Accor get our virtual tour treatment to drive online sales.
We actually started working with Ennismore on their Gleneagles and Hoxton products before there was any official announcement on the strategic collaboration between the two, it was lovely to see one of our oldest and newest virtual tour clients come together.
With 10 properties spread across 5 countries it’s a chances for us to visit new cities of countries we’ve previously photographed. Our overseas photo shoots are usually fly in and fly out experiences so it gives us little chance to see more of that particular country. We’re especially excited to visit different areas of US, having spent 2 days shooting in Florida back in 2017, getting the chance to see Downtown Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago and Williamsburg in New York has us chomping at the bit.
