THE FORMER established Holyrood Hotel has relaunched as Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood, marking the completion of a £10m refurbishment.
The hotel has been integrated into Marriott’s global portfolio of over 30 hotel brands.
Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic old town, the hotel, under new ownership, has been brought in line with Marriott Hotel standards after an extensive refurbishment.
Marriott Hotels said that its signature style is found throughout all facets of the property and guests can now enjoy an “enriched experience with modern, inviting spaces”.
The company has nearly 600 hotels and resorts in over 65 countries and territories around the world.
As part of the rebrand, the hotel’s lobby has been refurbished into what Marriott calls the new Greatroom lobby.
The hotel’s Spa and Fitness Centre has also been fully renovated, as have its 160 guest bedrooms and its media and event spaces.
Marriott Hotels said that it has incorporated Edinburgh’s vibrant arts scene in the display and carpet designs throughout the hotel.
The designs are inspired by the late Scottish artist, Edinburgh-born Sir Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi CBE RA, known for his sculpture and graphic work.
Michael Falla, General Manager of Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood, said: “The relaunch of Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood is an exciting development for the City and the Marriott brand.
“It is incredible to see the refurbishment nearing completion.
“Bringing the aesthetic of the property and quality of service up to Marriott standards is testament to the hotel team’s hard work and commitment.
“Edinburgh is such a vibrant city bursting with history and culture.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming our new and returning guests to enjoy an elevated and enriched Marriott experience with all that the city has to offer.”
Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic old town, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Edinburgh Marriott Hotel is situated directly opposite the Scottish Parliament building.
