ISG has won two hotel contracts worth £20 million in Edinburgh.

The firm will build a new 145-bed Premier Inn hotel for TH Real Estate and has also been selected as the main contractor on a luxury hotel project for the Carlton Hotel Collection.

ISG's first project with TH Real Estate involves the creation of a second 'hub by Premier Inn' site on Rose Street.

The company will modernise and extend the former Hanover Buildings, adding a two-storey steel frame extension at roof level to increase the property's total floor area by around 4,900 sq ft.

In addition, the existing façade will be cleaned and repaired with curtain walling elements installed.

ISG will also create a new four star 98-room boutique hotel next to Craig's Close on Market Street, which will see an under-used site transformed after remaining vacant for over 50 years.

Conversion works involve removing an existing structure and carrying out associated works. Construction will then begin on the seven-storey building.

Andy McLinden, ISG's Scotland regional MD, said: "As Scotland's hospitality scene continues to thrive, these important new wins, which will further enhance Edinburgh's burgeoning hotel sector, demonstrate our strong sector credentials and reputation for delivering complex change-of-use schemes in logistically challenging city environments."
