NYX Hotels Makes Scottish Debut With Landmark Opening In Edinburgh
One of Europe’s most stylish destination hotel brands, NYX Hotels, is officially opening its first Scottish location in the heart of Edinburgh on 28 July.
Situated on Jeffrey Street, just moments away from the Royal Mile and Waverley Station, NYX Hotel Edinburgh will be welcoming guests to experience its signature blend of urban style and vibrant city centre energy.
A collection of lifestyle-led hotels, the NYX Hotel group is known for bold interiors and nightlife-inspired social spaces, and has a strong presence in Europe’s cultural capitals.
The hotel, which has created 60 new jobs in the area, signals a £60million* investment in the city, expanding the existing Leonardo Royal Hotel site and creating 125 stylish rooms and a brand-new destination bar and restaurant.
Simone Villari, Hotel Manager at NYX Hotel Edinburgh, said: “Edinburgh has always thrived on art, music and culture. With NYX Hotel Edinburgh, our ambition is to capture that spirit and create a hotel that feels bold, vibrant, and uniquely Scottish.
“With the Edinburgh Fringe Festival just around the corner, this is a particularly exciting time to open. The city comes alive with creativity, culture and an electric atmosphere, attracting performers, artists and visitors from around the world. That energy is at the heart of the NYX brand, and we’re excited to become part of the experience and welcome guests looking to immerse themselves in everything Edinburgh has to offer.”
Known for its playful interiors and edgy take on luxury, NYX Hotel Edinburgh is the latest addition to the brand’s expanding portfolio, with venues in European cultural hotspots including Berlin, Dublin, Ibiza, and London.
The Edinburgh hotel is the epitome of energy and attitude, featuring decadent styling, bold prints, luxurious finishing and quirky design touches throughout. A standout feature of the hotel is the vibrant Clash Bar and Restaurant, which boasts industrial-chic interiors and bold patterned walls.
As well as signature cocktails developed by expert mixologists, the venue features a diverse all-day menu designed to deliver the perfect blend of mouth-watering dishes, delectable tasting plates and Instagram-worthy serves. The space will also host weekly DJ sessions from the very best and up-and-coming artists in Edinburgh, which is set to keep the atmosphere alive late into the night.
The chic atmosphere of the hotel’s social spaces extends to each of its 125 rooms and suites, which have been designed with a blend of modern aesthetics and Scottish personality in mind.
As well as plush DREAM beds, mood-setting lighting and Nespresso machines, each room is designed to be the ideal space to unwind, whether it’s after a day of exploring the city or an evening of experiencing Edinburgh’s vibrant nightlife.
Jason Carruthers, Managing Director at Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland, said: “The opening of NYX Hotel Edinburgh marks an important milestone for us as our fifth hotel in the city and our first NYX Hotel in Scotland. This has been a complex and ambitious project, transforming and expanding an existing site to create something truly special in one of the world’s most exciting cities.
“Thank you to everyone who has played a role in bringing this vision to life, particularly Simone, our Cluster General Manager Claire McLoughlin, and the entire NYX Hotel Edinburgh team, as well as Ciaran Lavery and his Design & Construction team. Their passion and dedication have created a hotel that truly embodies the spirit of the NYX Hotels brand, and we’re excited to welcome guests to experience it for themselves.”
