Whitebread plc, a British hospitality company, owner of Premier Inn, the UK’s biggest hotel brand will open a new hotel in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, a city filled with history, culture, engaging attractions and beautiful architecture, highlighted by its medieval Old Town and the elegant Georgian New Town, gardens and neoclassical buildings, a UNESCO World Site, financial centre, and a vibrant cultural hub in the United Kingdom.
Edinburgh City Council has granted planning permission for a new Premier Inn hotel near Edinburgh Airport located in the area of Ingliston, 9.3 kilometres west of the city centre, just off the M8 and M9 motorways.
Set to open in 2028, the project is a collaboration between Whitebread plc and Riverstone Hotels Ltd, a company based in Birmingham,West Midlands, England, UK. The hotel will be located on Eastfield Road, near the airport’s main entrance and will be the third Premier Inn location serving the airport area, joining existing hotels at Edinburgh Park and Edinburgh Airport (M9, Jct1).
This development is part of a large investment by Whitebread plc in Edinburgh, with plans to add over 500 new rooms across three new hotels in the Scottish capital increasing its Premier Inn portfolio that currently consists in 14 hotels located in the Edinburgh City Council area, welcoming over 1 million guests annually.
The future Premier Inn will be situated within a ten - minute walk from the airport terminal, a strategic development that aims to accommodate the increasing number of passengers using Edinburgh Airport, which currently serves 16 million travellers annually, a hub for more than 155 domestic and international destinations.
The hotel will feature 218 rooms hosted in a L - shaped building, with a ground floor and four additional stories above it featuring Premier Inn’s latest room design, including the Premier Plus rooms, as well as a communal area known as “The Social” located on the ground floor.
The property will be powered entirely by electricity from renewable sources and will offer 100 parking spaces for guests.
The development reflects Whitebread plc’s strategy to expand its presence and portfolio in key markets, with a long - term goal of increasing its room count across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company currently offers 85.000 rooms in more than 850 locations and aims to reach 125.000 rooms in the future.
