Following successful openings in London and Dublin, Ruby Hotels is set to open its first hotel in Scotland with a new 300-room hotel in Edinburgh.
The new Ruby Hotel, slated to open at the end of 2025, is located directly on the famous shopping street of Princes Street, opposite Princess Street Gardens Park, and comprises around 300 rooms across seven floors.
The hotel will feature a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of both the World Heritage Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Old Town. Public areas include a 24/7 bar which, like the rooms themselves, follows Ruby’s Lean Luxury philosophy.
The new Ruby Hotel will be a conversion with partial new construction of three connected buildings.
Julian Mörs, group director development at Ruby, said: “The hotel market in Edinburgh has proven to be very robust in the past, shows sustainable growth and offers a lot of potential for our concept, especially in the affordable luxury segment. We are very excited to enter the Scottish market with this great project.”
Andrew Moffat, head of Real Estate and Investment at Hunter REIM, said: “Hunter REIM is delighted to be able to announce the next step in the regeneration of Princes Street in Edinburgh with the announcement of a new Ruby Hotel and associated retail development at 104 -108 Princes Street. We believe we can deliver a significant improvement in the streetscape in Princes Street and, importantly, retain some retail space as part of the development.”
