YOTEL to open Edinburgh hotel
Budget hotel chain YOTEL has unveiled plans to open its first hotel in Edinburgh.
Due to open in the first quarter of 2019, it will be located on the city’s famous Queen Street at Erskine House.
The project marks the first use of the $250 million strategic partnership, formed in September, between YOTEL and an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, a global private investment firm.
The hotel will have 280 rooms, known as ‘cabins’, ranging from a Premium Cabin to a VIP Suite.
"Edinburgh is both a popular tourist and business hub and our new hotel will be a great addition to the city, appealing to both markets. Our contemporary and playful design together with technology driven experiences, will offer an exciting alternative to the current mostly traditional offering," says YOTEL CEO Hubert Viriot.
"YOTEL is on a rapid expansion path and the announcement of our Edinburgh city hotel plays an integral part in our future plans in Scotland and the rest of the globe."
The new hotel will feature a dramatic two-storey screening room and destination bar fronting Queen Street in addition to YOTEL’s Club Lounge concept.
