Glasgow-based real estate firm the Malyon Group has opened a boutique aparthotel at the George IV bridge in the heart of Edinburgh.

Operating under its Moment brand the development has seen a B-listed former language school converted to seven short-stay apartments, several with views of the castle.

The conversion by Taylor Architecture Practice has seen 1970s partitions removed, a period when many original features were damaged or lost, to revert the upper floors to their original configuration utilising existing stairs and corridors.

In a statement, Laurence Malyon wrote: “Our goal isn’t just to provide a place to stay—it’s to create an experience that feels deeply personal and unexpectedly exceptional.”

Contemporary furniture and fittings have been specified to differentiate from the original fabric.

I'm sorry but, what sort of psychopath pours a glass of champagne in a bed like that.
