Leonardo Hotel Group adds second UK site to estate


Following the Leonardo Hotel Group’s successful UK market entry with Leonardo Hotel London Heathrow Airport in March 2015, the next step in its European expansion is a takeover in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh.

New to the portfolio is the Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh City Centre, previously managed by Premier Inn, which is a popular, centrally located city hotel with 282 rooms in Edinburgh Haymarket.

The Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh City Centre will service business and convention travellers.

Meetings can be held directly in the hotel conference centre, as the building is home to four function rooms with a total area of 164 sq m.

The hotel will undergo extensive renovations under the leadership of the hotel interior designer Andreas Neudahm to provide guests with the highest standard of design, facilities and quality.

Daniel Roger, Managing Director Europe, said, “We are delighted to add Edinburgh to our portfolio. The capital of Scotland is a fascinating and multifaceted city. It is second only to London as the largest economic and trade center in Great Britain. I am certain that we can expect a positive response from our guests at the new destination, as we are offering them another attractive addition to our existing hotels.”
