Royal British Hotel has had a makeover

The Royal British Hotel on Princes Street has been refurbished in a multi-million pound programme and it is now a Hotel Indigo® branded property.

The Cairn Group is now running the hotel under a franchise agreement and the 64 bedroom hotel is attracting business travellers and tourists.

The Hotel Indigo® brand wants their guests to live like a local and the entire property along with their award winning cocktail bar Juniper now has the high quality decor, furniture and service that it deserves.

Twelve new jobs have been created as a result of the conversion.

Naveen Handa, director at Cairn Group, said: “It’s an exciting time for the business as we launch Hotel Indigo® Edinburgh Princes Street – a landmark hotel in the city. Edinburgh has such a vibrancy about it and is the perfect place to house a Hotel Indigo® branded property.

“As a result of the conversion and significant investment, the hotel has had its offering for guests enhanced, as well as bringing new jobs to the city and creating opportunities for staff progression and development.

“Whether visiting Edinburgh for a long weekend or on business, guests staying at Hotel Indigo® Edinburgh Princes Street can expect to enjoy unrivalled views of the city in plush surroundings, with convenient access to Juniper, and Twenty Princes Street; the grill and smoke house sitting within the hotel.”
