Roomzzz Aparthotels, the boutique city living flexible accommodation provider, has officially opened its first property in Scotland.

Located in the heart of Edinburgh, the aparthotel boasts a prime location at St James’ Quarter. Following seven years of planning and curating, the opening marks its 11th aparthotel across the UK..

The brand-new establishment offers 74 serviced apartments that are fully-equipped with amenities. Roomzzz Edinburgh also offers a premium ‘Bonnie’ penthouse suite with modern interiors, full dining table, dressing area, living space with sofa.

Each apartment also features contemporary furnishings, fully-equipped kitchens, and workspaces.

Roomzzz Edinburgh also features a 24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi and a Grab and Go breakfast with Bean to Cup Coffee. Selected pet friendly and accessibility enhanced studios are also available to choose from, as well as dedicated family rooms ready to accommodate up to two adults and two children.

Roomzzz added that a key amenity of the property is its partnership with Scottish food hall Bonnie and Wild, St James Quarter’s anchor food offering.

Guests can choose from dishes from eateries El Perro Negro and Kochchi to National Chef of Scotland Gary Maclean’s Creel Caught and Chef Jimmy Lee’s Salt and Chilli Oriental, as well as city favourites Joelato, east Pizzas and Stack and Still.

Shaan Ahmed, COO at Roomzzz Aparthotels Edinburgh, said: “Roomzzz Aparthotels Edinburgh is the next exciting chapter for the Roomzzz brand. As the first venture into Scotland, location was so important and what better setting to choose than in the heart of the capital, with views of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

“We’re also excited to be offering guests one of the best room service offerings in the city through our partnership with Bonnie & Wild. The selection of food and drink is first class, and we know our guests will love the opportunity to enjoy the comfort of their Roomzzz apartment.”

He added: “Our unique blend of stylish accommodation and flexible amenities is perfectly suited to the needs of modern travellers who seek comfort, convenience, and the freedom to experience a destination on their terms. We look forward to welcoming guests and providing them with an unforgettable stay in this remarkable city.”
The new Edinburgh base adds to its selection of properties in destinations such as London, Manchester, Newcastle and York
