Two new Edinburgh Airport hotels planned
03.03.08
Two big hotel chains are to open new hotels on a giant new business park near Edinburgh Airport. Premier Inn and Park Inn are to open hotels on the site of the former Marshall's chicken plant at Newbridge.
The site is to be named the Axis Business Park, to recognise its close links to the City Bypass, motorway and Edinburgh Airport. Hundreds of jobs are expected to be created by the development, which is to feature 500,000 square feet of office space - more than double the size of Waverley Gate.
Park Inn, a brand of the Radisson SAS company, is to have 154 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, meeting facilities, a swimming pool and other leisure areas. It is likely to be a four star hotel. The Premier Inn, the UK's largest hotel brand, will have 119 bedrooms and will be a budget three star facility.
Edinburgh business leaders have welcomed news of the hotels as a strong addition to the city's stock of accommodation and vital extra accommodation for events like the Edinburgh Festivals and the Six Nations Championship. Gavin Anderson, of property consultancy Montagu Evans, said: ‘Both hotels will benefit being on the doorstep of the airport and from such easy access to the motorway. You can easily get to almost anywhere in central Scotland.’
