Hyde is embracing an evolved brand identity that is all about a festival vibe with music at its core. Hyde perfectly balances an elevated bohemian-chic aesthetic with a youthful, laidback ambience. The spaces are defined by vibrant colors and are designed to encourage serendipitous connections and new discoveries around every corner.  Hyde is all about the freedom and personal discovery that comes with great music, time with friends and connecting with something bigger.

Hyde is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021.
