First look inside plush new Edinburgh hotel after West End townhouses transformed
A luxury hotel chain has opened their first Scottish spot, as Edinburgh welcomes The Hoxton.
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."
