Qatar Airways has announced its second hotel in the UK with the acquisition of the Novotel Edinburgh Park Hotel in Scotland.
The 170-bedroom hotel, which will continue to be managed and operated under the Novotel brand by Accor, features five meeting rooms, an indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, restaurant, bar and 95 parking spaces.
The acquisition follows the company’s first UK hotel in March this year, when it acquired the 350-bedroom Sheraton Skyline hotel at Heathrow Airport in London.
Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways group chief executive, said: “The Novotel Edinburgh Park is an excellent addition to our travel portfolio, complementing our five-star hotel the Oryx Rotana in Doha and Sheraton Skyline hotel Heathrow, making it easy for passengers who wish to spend some time in Edinburgh before travelling further afield in Scotland.”
Qatar Airways said that the acquisition is part of its overall growth strategy, which is expected to include further hotels in “key” destinations.
