The “first arts-led social enterprise hotel in the UK” opens on 20 June in Wood Green, in the London borough of Haringey. Designed as a placefor artists to stay when visiting and working in the capital, Green Rooms offers affordable accommodation, as well as providing space for creative projects and artistic collaboration.

Hotel guests will be encouraged to put on performances in the gallery and exhibition space, while the restaurant will run regularly changing residencies and training for emerging restaurateurs.

While Green Rooms will offer preferential rates to artists of all disciplines, the public are also welcome to stay.

The hotel is in an art deco building opposite Wood Green underground station, built in 1935 for the the North Metropolitan Power and Electricity Company.

The four-storey building, which has 22 double rooms, along with studio apartments and two dormitories (where beds will cost from £18 a night), has been converted by London-based architects Soda, and the interior is furnished by contemporary fashion label Folk.

Green Rooms is the brainchild of Nick Hartwright, co-founder of the Mill Co Project, another social enterprise that offers affordable workspace and exhibition space.

Hartwright worked with Kurt Bredenbeck, the man behind the Hoxton Hotel, in order to bring his idea to life. The hotel also had support from Haringey council and received £9m in funding from the mayor of London’s High Street Fund.

“There are thousands of hotels in London but there is a real shortage of affordable hotel accommodation that doesn’t compromise on quality,” said Hartwright.

“We are confident that artists, creatives, style enthusiasts and the wider local community will love staying and working at Green Rooms. It’s going to be an exciting, inclusive and accessible creative environment.”
