A new 228-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel is planned in Edinburgh’s Fountainbridge area with a scheduled opening summer 2017.
Property developer Grosvenor said it has sold a site at the city-centre project to Queensgate Hotels, which plans to operate the hotel under the Hampton by Hilton banner.
The site forms part of the Springside mixed development which also includes residential units. It is close to Edinburgh’s central business district and the EICC - Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Hampton by Hilton currently has 16 hotels operating in the UK.
