Multi-million pound hotel refurbishment

3DReid’s hotels team has completed the renovation of the five star Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh, which has been named the Edinburgh Hotel of the Year in the 2012 Scottish Hotel Awards.

Working closely with interior designers MKV and contractor Thomas Johnstone, the works complete the final phase of a multi-million pound refurbishment of the hotel. The refurbishments have provided contemporary public areas including an enhanced conference suite and state-of-the-art delegate rooms along with the new ‘One Square’ restaurant and bar on Festival Square and a brand new kitchen.

Moving a staircase into the heart of the building, opposite the existing guest lifts, and relocating the hotel bar to the front of the Festival Square elevation adjacent to the restaurant, simplified the guest circulation and opened up the hotel’s reception lobby into a grand, spacious, arrival area, with an impressive double-height atrium space and gleaming black stone floor.

Mark Bruce of 3DReid Architects hotel sector said: “As a team we have all undertaken the most thorough transformation in the hotel’s history. It is extremely satisfying to see the hotel open its doors and embark upon an exciting new era.”
