Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh has officially opened a major new extension, adding 100 bedrooms and taking its total room count to 290.
Based in Edinburgh’s Old Town, the hotel is part of the Leonardo Royal Hotels portfolio, which now includes nine UK properties. The eight-storey addition represents an investment of approximately £22.4 million and forms part of a wider development at the site. The project also includes an expanded Leo’s Restaurant, increasing dining capacity for both guests and local diners.
The new wing has created 15 new jobs, and the hotel says the added capacity will help meet growing demand from both domestic and international visitors.
Claire McLoughlin, General Manager at Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh, said, “This extension represents a significant investment in both our hotel and the wider Edinburgh hospitality sector.
“Adding 100 new bedrooms and expanding Leo’s Restaurant allows us to better meet the increasing demand we’re seeing from both leisure and business travellers, while also creating new local jobs.
“It’s a strong vote of confidence in Edinburgh as a destination and reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality accommodation and guest experiences in the city.”
