One of Europe’s most stylish destination hotel brands, NYX Hotels, has officially opened its first Scottish location in the heart of Edinburgh.
Situated on Jeffrey Street, just moments away from the Royal Mile and Waverley Station, NYX Hotel Edinburgh welcomes guests to experience its signature blend of urban style and vibrant city centre energy. A collection of lifestyle-led hotels, the NYX Hotel group is known for bold interiors and nightlife-inspired social spaces and has a strong presence in Europe’s cultural capitals.
The hotel, which has created 60 new jobs in the area, signals a £60M investment in the city, expanding the existing Leonardo Royal Hotel site and creating 125 stylish rooms and a brand-new destination bar and restaurant.
Simone Villari, Hotel Manager at NYX Hotel Edinburgh, said: “Edinburgh has always thrived on art, music and culture. With NYX Hotel Edinburgh, our ambition is to capture that spirit and create a hotel that feels bold, vibrant, and uniquely Scottish. With the Edinburgh Fringe Festival just around the corner, this is a particularly exciting time to open. The city comes alive with creativity, culture and an electric atmosphere, attracting performers, artists and visitors from around the world. That energy is at the heart of the NYX brand and we’re excited to become part of the experience and welcome guests looking to immerse themselves in everything Edinburgh has to offer.”
Known for its playful interiors and edgy take on luxury, NYX Hotel Edinburgh is the latest addition to the brand’s expanding portfolio, with venues in European cultural hotspots including Berlin, Dublin, Ibiza and London.
