First look inside plush new Edinburgh hotel after West End townhouses transformed
With 214 rooms, the transformed townhouses are split over both sides of Grosvenor Street. The hotel is also home to an Italian restaurant, ballroom events space, an 'intimate' screening room and three houses.
The Hoxton has hotels across the world including Vienna, Amsterdam, Chicago, Portland, Paris, Rome and more.
The main building houses 150 rooms, with the remaining 64 in the townhouse across the road. They're split into categories - snug single, bunk rooms, cosy, roomy and 'biggy'.
A spokesperson for the chain said: "Design throughout all rooms play into the building's Georgian-influenced architecture, with original features meticulously preserved by AIME Studios to celebrate the heritage of the property and Edinburgh as a whole.

"Cornicing, double height ceilings and impressive sash windows feature throughout many rooms, and headboards across all categories come in a deep raspberry red, with a mix of modern arched silhouettes in some, and a more flamboyant fluted design with a neo-classical feel in others. Walls are two toned in light and dark sage and divided by a dado rail, with whimsical touches such as pineapple coat hooks and fringe skirted armchairs offering a playful nod to the heritage of the townhouses."
The restaurant, styled like a 'classic Italian trattoria', brings the Amalfi Coast energy to Edinburgh.

A spokesperson said: "Interiors channel the trattoria spirit with theatrical flair complete with mirror motifs, hot pink accents, ambient lighting, and a showstopping Baroque-style fountain surrounded by banquette seating. Rich textures and colour fill the space with deep blue velvet, green corduroy, floral prints, and striped walls, layered to create an opulent yet inviting atmosphere.
"Open from morning to night for early breakfasts, celebratory lunches and intimate dinners, Patatino has something for everyone, offering hearty, Italian dishes utilising local Scottish produce with playful twists."

The seven mistakes you're making on holiday that make you look classless & common & you won't realise you're doing them
Plus, how you should always avoid being tempted to ask for ketchup HOL-D ON The seven mistakes you're making on holiday that make you look classless & common & you won't realise you're doing them Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE is nothing wrong with being relaxed on holiday — indeed, that's the point — but there is a fine line between being carefree and appearing "common." An etiquette expert has revealed her golden rules for avoiding looking lower class as you unwind away from home. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 There are some telltale signs you look 'common' when you are away Credit: Getty 6 The Queen of Etiquette Laura Windsor shared her advice for not looking lower class on holiday Credit: Supplied Laura Windsor, the Queen of Etiquette, shared seven things you should immediately stop doing, according to Laura, if you want to look more upper class… 1. FLIP FLOPS For those of you who like city holidays it is a huge no no to walk around in flip flops. Flip flops should be reserved for areas such as the beach, swimming pools, locker rooms and for apocalypse scenarios. It also shows poor dress sense and a lack of situational appropriateness - restaurants do not pair well with ingrown toe nails, hairy and/or non-manicured toe nails. 2. HOGGING LOUNGERS Avoid saving sun loungers for your friends. It's similar to letting your friends jump the queue and is something one would do at school. It was annoying then, it's annoying now. You are all grown up now, there is no excuse. It also shows that you need to exercise some respect towards others and yourself.

SPAGHETTI WITH A SPOON Eating spaghetti with a spoon and fork - this is a huge no no. If you are ordering spaghetti you should eat it like an Italian - with just a fork. Twirling pasta round a fork does not require extra cutlery. It's just screaming 'tourist' and is an international signal for 'charge me double' plus a 20 per cent service charge on top of the cover charge. You should also avoid stacking plates for the waiting staff, adding salt to food before trying it, and putting your napkin in your collar. 6 If you order spaghetti, don't be tempted to use a spoon Credit: Getty 4. EARLY DRINKS When it comes to holidays, some people start drinking early - be it at the airport Wetherspoons or at the all-inclusive bar. Avoid drinking early morning and making a fool of yourself from that moment forth. Excessive drinking can put you in compromising situations especially on social media; do we really want to see you stumble to your seat and be in a catatonic state? Or sweating alcohol from your pores to the point that you are flammable or engage in innocuous behaviour such as talking or laughing too loudly, or being handsy with your partner, it certainly won't go unnoticed. Most Southern Europeans will sip their alcohol rather than gulp it down and accompany it with a proper meal! 6 You should avoid drinking in the early morning when abroad Credit: Getty 5. REQUESTING KETCHUP To be culturally ignorant is another big no-no. There is nothing worse than travelling to a country and expecting the local restaurants to provide you with your favourite sauces - ketchup, mayonnaise, chilli oil, daddy's sauce and other such monstrosities- eat what is offered as if you were a local, otherwise you might as well save your money and stay at home. Nothing screams 'ignorant tourist' than someone who does not follow or read up on the customs of the country they are visiting. Respect local customs - if the locals queue in a way that is considered unacceptable in your culture, instead of tutting and complaining; it's the time to follow the 'when in Rome' rule. 6. SOCKS AND SANDALS Socks and sandals should be avoided at all costs. You can spot a British person a mile away! 6 Socks and sandals should be avoided Credit: Getty 7. CLAPPING AS YOU LAND Applauding as you land? For what reason? Yes I can understand the incredible skill involved in landing a flying metal tube but no one died or saved a kitten. Are you lucky to be alive? Yes of course you are but then applaud every day. You are more likely to die crossing the road than travelling by plane. It gives the impression that you haven't flown a lot. No one is particularly impressed with an amateur tourist.
