Edinburgh’s A-listed former Royal High School is to undergo a £35m redevelopment into an “arts hotel” at the hands of Gareth Hoskins Architects.

The development will fuse hotel provision with a restaurant, café and public gallery space.

Duddingston House Properties have been awarded the contract by Edinburgh City Council, who will remain as the buildings owners.

The developer is to finance the project privately and will now submit a planning application. It is expected that the hotel will open in 2014.

Once mooted as a possible location for the Scottish parliament the building has remained under utilised for nearly 40 years.
