The Edinburgh Grand, a landmark residence on St Andrew Square, has reopened marking Marriott International’s Luxury Collection Scottish debut and its fourth outpost in the UK, alongside London, Buckinghamshire and Manchester.
Owned and operated by Chris Stewart Group, the property has undergone a light refurbishment and repositioning to target the luxury extended-stay and leisure markets.
Set within a restored neo-classical former bank, the hotel offers 50 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom rooms and suites, each with a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area, and original architectural features such as high ceilings, sash windows and sweeping staircases.
Interiors, styled by Karen Brown, head of interior design at Chris Stewart Group, have been shaped by the building’s 1940s origins, and blended with the rich colours and textures of Scotland.
The relaunch follows a phased refurbishment programme aimed at elevating the property’s luxury positioning.

Phase one, now complete, includes refreshed interiors across 33 rooms, an updated front foyer, enhancements to the executive lounge and retail space, plus new furnishings and upgraded equipment in the fitness centre and The Register Club.
Phase two, set for completion later this year, will see the final room upgrades completed alongside a reimagined spa offering.
“The Edinburgh Grand has long been distinguished for its unique history as the former headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland,” said Emre Pasli, the hotel’s general manager.
“Becoming part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection allows us to honour that legacy through thoughtful experiences, exceptional service and a sense of place that seamlessly blends timeless charm with the unique essence of Scotland.
Situated just moments from Waverley Station and a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street and the Royal Mile, the hotel is well-positioned to appeal to leisure travellers, long-stay guests and business travellers alike.
