 Marriott has expanded its rapidly growing
portfolio of W Hotels to Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh.

The W Edinburgh hotel comprises three distinct
buildings positioned around St. James Square: the Ribbon Building,
James Craig Walk and the Quarter House, with a total of 199 rooms
and 45 suites, many with outdoor terraces offering a new
perspective on the city.

The 12-storey Ribbon Building features a striking
exterior façade and boasts top floor
terraces that offer guests memorable 360° views, while igloos on the rooftop deck allow guests
and locals to enjoy the view whatever the Scottish weather.

In
contrast, James Craig Walk is a heritage listed terrace dating
from 1775 that epitomizes the character of historic Edinburgh,
with its robust stone façade, high ceilings and tall sash
windows.

Newly built and interlinking with the Ribbon Building,
the Quarter House is also predominantly a stone façade, inspired
by traditional Edinburgh architecture.

“The unveiling of W Edinburgh not only signifies
our exciting entry into Scotland, but it also proudly marks our
second property and continued expansion in the United Kingdom,”
said George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, W
Hotels. “Our bold approach to luxury hospitality, complemented by
culture-driven programming, and cutting-edge design will surely
infuse the city with a playful, yet refined ambiance. W Edinburgh
invites locals and global travelers alike to explore the city
through the brand’s distinct lens.”

Highlights of the new hotel include a spa, fitness
centre, meeting and event spaces, a rooftop deck offering 360° views,
a variety of F&B outlets – including a secret apartment speakeasy, as well as the brand’s
signature Sound Suite recording studio, a first for the UK and
only the
second in Europe.
