A brand new luxury hotel in Edinburgh has been unveiled, featuring a panoramic rooftop terrace and even a music recording studio.
W Hotels has announced the opening of its first property in Scotland, W Edinburgh, which is now available to book just in time for the festive season. The hotel sits in the heart of the capital's St. James Quarter, housed within three distinct buildings, so is ideally located to explore the city.
Highlights of W Edinburgh include its striking rooftop deck that offers "never-seen-before 360° views", as well as a 'Sound Suite' recording studio. According to the hotel, the latter has been built to "empower musicians, podcasters, DJs, and artists to create and record inspired by Edinburgh’s diverse influences".
The hotel, situated in the Ribbon Building, James Craig Walk, and the Quarter House, is comprised of 199 rooms and 45 suites. Many of these include outdoor terraces, offering gorgeous views out across the city.

Elsewhere, the Extreme Wow Suite offers a social living area with a spacious dining room and a unique rock bar inspired by the city's volcanic beginnings. Designed to maximise comfort, the luxurious guestroom comes with a super-king-sized bed and a walk-in wardrobe, while the bathroom has a free-standing bath and even a private sauna.
