W Edinburgh
Marriott Bonvoy has revealed the new W Edinburgh which is open for bookings. Highlights include a striking rooftop deck offering 360° views, as well as the W Hotels brand’s signature Sound Suite recording studio, a first for the UK and the second in Europe, for musicians, podcasters, DJs, and artists to create and record inspired by Edinburgh. W Edinburgh sits at the heart of the St. James Quarter, a newly revitalized neighbourhood in the city centre which combines retail, entertainment, and dining.
The hotel comprises three distinct buildings positioned around St. James Square: the Ribbon Building, James Craig Walk, and the Quarter House, with a total of 199 rooms and 45 suites, many with outdoor terraces, which offer a new perspective on the city.
The 12-story Ribbon Building features top-floor terraces that offer guests 360° views from Arthur’s Seat to the sea while igloos on the roof terrace will allow for guests and locals to enjoy the view whatever the weather. In contrast, James Craig Walk is a heritage-listed terrace dating from 1775. The final building is the newly built and interlinking with the Ribbon Building, the Quarter House is also predominantly a stone façade, inspired by traditional Edinburgh architecture.
Interiors draw influence from the elements of the coastal city built on volcanic rock, with fire and water providing juxtaposed inspiration throughout. Dark ‘charred wood’ paneling in many of the public areas is complemented by striking copper touches including a fringe ceiling feature in the W Lounge. Volcanic rock is featured in the Welcome Desk, while the W Lounge bar and mini bars use tonal hues throughout, a nod to local with thistle and woad blue.
The Extreme Wow Suite (the W Hotels spin on the Presidential Suite) sounds amazing with views across Edinburgh and a unique rock bar inspired by the city’s volcanic beginnings. The guestroom features a playful, round super-king-sized bed and walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom has a free-standing bath, private sauna, walk-in shower and vanity while the suite’s expansive private terrace is ideal for entertaining with views of Edinburgh Castle.
There are three restaurants and bars. The top floors and panoramic terraces of the hotel are home to Scotland’s first SUSHISAMBA restaurant alongside the W Lounge, and a Brazilian-inspired speakeasy named João’s Place.
The hotel also has an Away® Spa and FIT® fitness center. Away Spa is partnered with Ishga, Scottish skincare, harnessing the power of organic Hebridean seaweed extract in its products.
