NYX Hotels has opened its first Scottish property, a 125-room hotel in Edinburgh, following a £60m investment.
Located on Jeffrey Street near the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Waverley station, the hotel includes the Clash Bar and Restaurant, which offers all-day dining and weekly live DJ sessions.
It expands the existing Leonardo Royal Hotel site and has created 60 jobs. The opening marks NYX Hotels’ fifth property in the UK and Ireland and its latest expansion across Europe.
The lifestyle brand, owned by Leonardo Hotels, has properties in London, Dublin, Berlin and Ibiza.
Simone Villari, hotel manager at NYX Hotel Edinburgh, said: “Edinburgh has always thrived on art, music and culture. With NYX Hotel Edinburgh, our ambition is to capture that spirit and create a hotel that feels bold, vibrant and uniquely Scottish.”
Jason Carruthers, managing director of Leonardo Hotels UK and Ireland, said: “The opening of NYX Hotel Edinburgh marks an important milestone for us as our fifth hotel in the city and our first NYX Hotel in Scotland. This has been a complex and ambitious project, transforming and expanding an existing site to create something truly special.”
