Work has started on a new £18 million four-star boutique hotel project in Edinburgh.

Ogilvie Construction is delivering the new 150-bed facility in Edinburgh’s West End at Torphichen Street.

The eight-storey hotel is being developed for Axcel Hospitality and is scheduled to be complete in early 2020.

Features will include a restaurant, bar and leisure facilities. The structural frame for the building has been developed as a Precast Concrete and Structural Steelwork hybrid founded on a drilled piling solution. In addition, the hotel will be built with a façade of mostly natural stone.

Our team has an extensive and successful track record in the hotel and leisure sector and will work closely with the client throughout the project to ensure that the hotel meets every need of future guests."
