New designs for the proposed hotel at Edinburgh’s former Royal High School on Calton Hill have been revealed and Rosewood Hotels and Resorts has been confirmed as the operating partner as plans are submitted to City of Edinburgh Council.
The plan to invest more than £75m to restore and convert the property into a hotel is led by Duddingston House Properties and Urbanist Hotels.
David Orr, co-founder and chairman of Urbanist Hotels, said: “By bringing Rosewood to Edinburgh, we will be able to showcase our beautiful capital city and Scotland’s creative and cultural talents to a new global audience.”
Radha Arora, president at Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, added: “The former Royal High School is one of Edinburgh’s most important landmarks and we will be drawing on our experience with historic properties such as The Carlyle, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco and Hôtel de Crillon, to ensure the heritage and history of this building is preserved and celebrated.”
