The Rutland Hotel unveils £1.2m refurb

The Rutland Hotel, and sister sites The Huxley and Kyloe, have unveiled their new interiors with added features including a bath-butler package following an “extensive” £1.2m refurbishment. 

Situated in the city’s historic West End, with views of Edinburgh Castle and near the Johnnie Walker experience, the relaunch of the Rutland Hotel and sister eateries “marks a pivotal moment in the regeneration of the area”. 

Originally built in the early 1800s, the revitalised aesthetics pay homage to the building’s homeland. Each of the hotel’s nine renovated rooms feature artwork inspired by some of Scotland’s “most iconic brands”, design flourishes including Mulberry wallpaper and a bath butler package featuring products from Arran Aromatics. 

Housed under the same roof, The Huxley and Kyloe have also undergone recent renovations by Birmingham based interior design company, Tibbatts Abel. Guests can sample the Huxley menu that celebrates Scottish classics with a touch of American soul, in revamped surroundings that blend Retro Americana with Art Deco. Upstairs in Kyloe, the gourmet menu remains unchanged, whilst reimagined interiors provide a more “opulent dining experience”.

Louise MacLean, business development director for Signature Pubs, said: “Each detail throughout this refurbishment has been meticulously curated to ensure an unparalleled guest experience whether dining, drinking or dreaming. We want our guests to feel relaxed, at home, and to experience affordable Scottish luxury at every touch point. 

“Whilst these three venues stand alone in their offerings, character and design, they are united in their shared vision to deliver unforgettable experiences with top level Scottish hospitality in an iconic Edinburgh location providing a well-placed offer ideal for international tourists, corporate visitors and locals alike.”
