Code The Court completes multi-million-pound refurb

Edinburgh-based hotel Code The Court has unveiled a new attic floor of signature boutique hotel rooms following a multi-million pound refurbishment.

The development moves the property beyond its original pods and former police cell offering, introducing a collection of luxury en-suite rooms.

The newly launched ‘Enlightened Rooms’, designed by Edinburgh-based Morgan Architects, combine bespoke interiors with the city’s intellectual heritage.

The collection is completed by the Crossley Engine Room, named after the rare 19th century engine discovered during the initial restoration and now displayed at The Lost Close.

The investment also includes the launch of John’s Coffee House and Tavern, a new bar and restaurant which opened earlier this year after a £500k renovation.

Alongside the new accommodation, Code has also unveiled a full rebrand, reflecting its evolution into a fully realised boutique hotel and urban hostel offering.

The rebrand has seen an overhaul of Code’s visual identity and website, complete with a new logo.

Andrew Lansburgh, CEO at Code, said: “This investment marks an important step in the evolution of The Court. We set out to move beyond our original pod model and by extending into the roof space we could create a boutique hotel floor that can compete at a higher level. The refurbishment in the attic also allowed us to repair and treat areas that had been inaccessible while also giving the building a thermal upgrade.

“Each new room is designed to do more than accommodate – it encourages guests to stay longer, explore the city’s incredible history, and connect with the stories that make Edinburgh unique. With the new rooms, it was important that our website and visual identity reflect the same quality, and our updated branding and site absolutely showcase how we deliver the best customer experience.”
