Two new Edinburgh Airport hotels are planned, the Scotsman reports. A property developer will submit a planning application for a 350-bed development on Almond Avenue, on the opposite side of the road to the airport control tower.
The seven-storey development will be split into a 150-bedroom four-star hotel and a 200-bedroom three-star hotel, with meeting rooms, a bar, restaurant and gym. Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners (NLP), planning agents for English developer Theakston Estates, has already held a public display of the plans.
Edinburgh Airport has one of the smallest hotel room-to-passenger ratios of all major UK airports. A study undertaken on behalf of the council estimated that more than 550 additional rooms will be required at the airport by the end of this year.
Neil Anderson, commercial director at Edinburgh Airport, told the newspaper: ‘We're leasing land to Theakston Developments for what we think is an exciting airport hotel development. As the UK's fastest growing airport, we know there is a real demand for hotel space both adjacent to the airport and in Edinburgh itself. There has been significant interest in the site and we watch the development with interest.’
