Luxury aparthotel brand, Roomzzz, is set to expand into Scotland with a new property scheduled to open in 2021.
The £1bn development will be located at Edinburgh St James in the heart of the city. Some 73 aparthotels are planned which will range from smart studios to luxury penthouses.
The location is set to become Edinburgh’s “most popular retail hub” housing 86 shops and 20 restaurants across four floors.
Naveen Ahmed, CEO of Roomzzz, said: “Set to become the city’s hottest new retail destination and with excellent transport links, the Edinburgh St James development is the perfect location for the Roomzzz brand to launch its first aparthotel in Scotland.
“Our expansion into the Scottish capital is a significant milestone for Roomzzz as we look to grow our successful portfolio of luxurious aparthotels across the UK.”
Mark Walton, chief operating officer of Roomzzz, added: “We were the first in the UK to launch the aparthotel concept back in 2006 in Leeds and the Roomzzz Aparthotel brand has experienced phenomenal growth ever since. We have aspirations to expand our offering throughout the UK and internationally, developing our existing aparthotel brand.
“In addition to our expansion into Scotland, we look forward to opening our first aparthotel in London later this year, as well as three additional sites planned for Liverpool, Manchester Corn Exchange and York.”
