The W Hotels brand will make its debut in Scotland with the launch of the W Edinburgh. The 214-room hotel will serve as the centerpiece for the forthcoming Edinburgh St. James development, a 1.7-million-square-foot multifunctional facility opening in 2020.
The 12-story hotel will be designed by London-based architecture firm Jestico + Whiles with local firm Allan Murray Architects. The façade will feature a fluidity reminiscent of a winding ribbon, a nod to the festival spirit of the city. The property will include 20 suites plus an Extreme Wow suite, and a rooftop space with an outdoor terrace and bar offering panoramic skyline views.
Other areas include the signature W Lounge lobby concept, an onsite restaurant, FIT workout facility, AWAY Spa, and 2,450 square feet of event space.
The W Edinburgh is slated to open in 2021.
