Edinburgh Airport lands Hampton by Hilton hotel
November 24 2014
The £16m scheme has been drawn up by 3D Reid Architects on behalf of Ability Hotel Group for construction toward the tail end of 2015.
Ian Kettlewell, director of planning consultancy Nathaniel Litchfield & Partners, said that the scheme would address ‘an identified shortfall in the number of rooms around the airport’. He concluded: “It is in a prominent location on a key route into Edinburgh Airport and has been designed to provide a positive landmark building.”
A public consultation into the proposed plans will take place at Norwood Community Wing, Ratho Station tomorrow between 15:30 and 19:00.
3DReid previously delivered the airport's distinctive control tower
Passenger numbers have been growing in recent years at the airport
Plans have been scaled back from an original consent for a 350-bed scheme
The proposed hotel will be situated on Almond Road

Wow! Fantastic! What can I say! What artistic endeavour! Superlative! - Still, at least it'll be recyclable into a 70's DHSS office building.

Haud on. Just had a thought. Is there a planning department in Edinburgh?
