Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh, managed by global hotel management company, Valor Hospitality, has launched its new restaurant and bar concept, 1802 Lounge & Grill.
Named after the year the hotel was first built, the ground floor has had a refresh and takes its inspiration from the prohibition era, with a speakeasy feel, and a blue and gold art deco style. An outdoor space opens later this month.
With the menu promising fresh produce from haggis bon bons to Scottish seafood linguine, Scottish culture is front and centre and the kitchen team have worked closely with Scottish suppliers – from family-owned Campbells hand-cut meat to Welch Fishmongers, who specialise in sustainably sourced fish from the North Sea and Scotland’s many rivers and lochs.
Ronald Little, General Manager at Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh said, “We’re delighted to announce our brand-new restaurant, 1802 Lounge & Grill. Our team look forward to welcoming guests, locals, theatre goers and visitors alike, to sample some of our locally sourced Scottish produce.”
Brian McCarthy, President of Valor Hospitality UK & Europe said, “We are so passionate about making our hotel restaurants feel like a destination in their own right, and we really believe the 1802 Lounge & Grill will be just that.
“The team have worked tirelessly to put together a menu that supports the local supply chain and is packed with locally sourced, quality ingredients. It’s all part of our commitment to going above and beyond for our guests and integrating with our local communities.”
