Work starts on £20m Edinburgh hotel

The 98 room boutique hotel is the first venture in Edinburgh by European operator, the Carlton Hotel Collection, and is being delivered in partnership with The EDI Group Ltd.

Having received international recognition at MIPIM Future Awards for its innovative design plans to create a building that complements its historic surroundings, the development will transform a key under-used site on Market Street, located next to Craig’s Close, which has remained vacant for more than 50 years.

Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage and Old Town Conservation Area, construction of the hotel also marks the completion of the last remaining gap site on the northern boundary of the Old Town, between Edinburgh Castle and North Bridge.
