New hotel to bed down

THE Capital’s tenth Premier Inn is set to open later this month.

Whitbread said that the property, in Lochside Court, would contribute more than £8.6 million to the local economy and create 41 new jobs.

The 120-bedroom hotel is located just three miles from Edinburgh Airport and adjacent to the Edinburgh Park railway station.

Tony Horan, operations manager of Premier Inn Edinburgh Park, said: “Premier Inn has ten sites in and around Edinburgh but, due to increasing demand, we have decided to open up a new hotel in this key location at Edinburgh Park.

“The hotel is ideally located for those looking for a great value weekend break as the city has so much to offer. It will also be extremely convenient for business travellers looking for accommodation near the city centre or airport.”
