Hotel Indigo Edinburgh set for March 2012 opening
Published: 19/10/2011 - Filed under: News »
IHG’s boutique Hotel Indigo brand is set to open its second Scottish property early next year, with the 66-room Hotel Indigo Edinburgh located in a Georgian townhouse dating back to the 1800s.
The Hotel Indigo brand arrived in the UK in 2009 with the opening of a property in London’s Paddington district (see online news January 21, 2009), and since then has expanded with a second hotel near London’s Tower Bridge, and properties in Liverpool and Glasgow.
Hotel Indigo Edinburgh had been due to open in November, and indeed the group’s website still shows this at the bottom of the hotel’s welcome page. But reservations are now being taken from March 1, 2012.
The hotel will be located within a building formerly home to the Osbourne Hotel Edinburgh, and is located on York Place in Edinburgh’s “New Town”, close to Queens Street Gardens and north of Edinburgh Waverley railway station.
The five-floor hotel will feature 60 rooms and six suites, with free wifi, a 24-hour fitness centre, and Turquoise Thistle restaurant and bar serving breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and cocktails.
Other forthcoming Hotel Indigo properties in the UK include Birmingham and Newcastle, both of which are scheduled to open in 2012.
