The Carlton Hotel Collection Gets Go Ahead For Edinburgh Hotel

The Carlton Hotel Collection, which operates ten 4-star hotels in Belgium, Netherlands and the UK, is to operate a proposed new 98-bed hotel on Market Street in Edinburgh’s Old Town.  Part of the proposed building site, opposite the side entrance to Waverley Station, has been vacant since the 1960s, with the adjacent 1930’s warehouse building most often used as a temporary garage.  The four-star hotel development will see the empty warehouse demolished and is expected to cost around £15m. The project is due to start development this December and is scheduled to be  completed by  September 2017. This will be  the first venture in Edinburgh for the Carlton hotel group.
