Plans revealed for new 256-Bed Edinburgh City Centre Hotel

Plans have been revealed for a new four-star business hotel in the heart of Edinburgh, located at 60 Morrison Street, where the vacant Edinburgh One building currently stands.

The site, which has been unoccupied since 2021, has been purchased by developer MRP, who intends to transform it into a modern hotel catering to both business and leisure travellers.

New visualisations show how the 256-bed hotel could look if the plans are approved. The hotel will feature a bar, restaurant, gym, and meeting rooms, with the Dalata Hotel Group operating it under the Clayton Hotel brand.

The existing four-storey building will be extended by an additional three storeys, but its exterior will be retained. The interior will be redesigned to include a ground-floor bar, a fitness centre, and dedicated meeting facilities.

In line with Edinburgh City Council’s strategy to reduce car usage, the hotel will be car-free. Plans include the removal of existing parking spaces to make way for cycle parking, while taxi drop-off and pedestrian access will be streamlined to the building’s front entrance, further reducing the need for private vehicles.
