New hotel will tower above the whole city

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / September 5

A towering 16-storey hotel visible from across Edinburgh will form the centrepiece of a £200 million redevelopment for Haymarket, under plans revealed today. Just a day after a massive planning application was unveiled for the major regeneration of Leith Docks, the first images have been released of the hotel development which will change the face of the city centre. Work could start on "The Haymarket" next year with completion by 2012. Under Irish developer Tiger's plans, the leaf-shaped five-star hotel, roughly the height of the Balmoral, will look down on Haymarket Station from the former Morrison Street goods yard. The glass and stone-fronted building would be visible from miles around.
