‘Boutique apart hotel’ planned in Edinburgh’s New Town
A PLANNING application has been submitted to the Edinburgh city council which, if approved, could see a new boutique hotel in the New Town area.
The ‘change of use’ application from Top Property Edinburgh Ltd seeks to alter 29 Albany Street from offices to class 7 (hotel).
The bid to turn the office building into a “boutique apart hotel” would “restore the townhouse as close to original condition,” according to the planning documents.
The hotel’s “target guests will be visitors who would prefer to enjoy an authentic experience, taking in the qualities and ambience of Edinburgh’s new town.”
The townhouse, which has two distinctive bow-fronted dormer windows is part of a Grade A listed terrace dating back to the early 19th century.
