Two hotels for business part near Edinburgh Airport
03.03.08
Two major chains are to open hotels at a giant new business park near Edinburgh Airport. Premier Inn and Park Inn are to open hotels at the new development on the site of the former Marshall's chicken plant at Newbridge.
The site, directly behind the Lexus showroom on Edinburgh Road, is to be named the Axis Business Park, to recognise its close links to the City Bypass, motorway and Edinburgh Airport. Hundreds of jobs are expected to be created by the development, which is to feature 500,000 square feet of office space – more than double the size of Waverley Gate.
Park Inn is a brand of the Radisson SAS and is to have 154 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, meeting facilities, a swimming pool and other leisure areas. The Premier Inn, the UK's largest hotel brand, will have 119 bedrooms.
Edinburgh business leaders have welcomed the hotels as a strong addition to the city's stock of accommodation – and vital extra accommodation for events like the Edinburgh Festivals and the Six Nations Championship. Gavin Anderson, a partner at property consultancy firm Montagu Evans, said: ‘Both hotels will benefit being on the doorstep of the airport and from such easy access to the motorway. You can easily get to almost anywhere in central Scotland.’
