Affordable Scottish boutique luxury in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End – that is what is being promised at the newly refurbished Rutland Hotel and its sister eateries The Huxley and Kyloe.
Reopening the venues after an extensive £1.2 million refurbishment, Signature Pubs described the historic building’s relaunch as a pivotal moment in the regeneration of the area.
Sitting at the west end of Princes St, on the doorstep of the Johnnie Walker experience and with great views of Edinburgh Castle, the building that now incorporates the Rutland, The Huxley and Kyloe, was originally built in the early 1800s.
Signature stressed that its ‘newly revitalised aesthetics’ had retained that historic Scottish character.
Business development manager for Signature Pubs, Louise MacLean, said: “Whilst these three venues stand alone in their offerings, character and design, they are united in their shared vision to deliver unforgettable experiences with top level Scottish hospitality in an iconic Edinburgh location providing a well-placed offer ideal for international tourists, corporate visitors and locals alike.
“Each detail throughout this refurbishment has been meticulously curated to ensure an unparalleled guest experience whether dining, drinking or dreaming.”
Each of the hotel’s nine renovated rooms feature artwork inspired by iconic Scottish brands, and design flourishes including Mulberry wallpaper and a ‘bath butler’ package featuring indulgent products from Arran Aromatics.
The final touch is a fully stocked bar cart showcasing Scotland’s rich drinks heritage, from Edinburgh’s own Cold Town Beer and Edinburgh Gin, to drams of Johnnie Walker.
Under the same roof, The Huxley and Kyloe have undergone renovations by Birmingham based interior design company, Tibbatts Abel.
The refreshed Huxley menu celebrates Scottish classics with a touch of American soul, in revamped surroundings that blend Retro Americana with Art Deco.
Upstairs in Kyloe, the popular gourmet menu remains unchanged, whilst reimagined interiors provide a ‘more opulent’ dining experience.
“We want our guests to feel relaxed, at home, and to experience affordable Scottish luxury at every touch point,” said MacLean.
“Whether that be through our expertly curated cocktail menus, gourmet dining, amenities from brands such as GHD and Nespresso, or our ‘bath butler’ package where you can have your bath run for you whilst you relax or dine, using Arran Aromatic products.”
Guests of The Rutland Hotel & Apartments will also soon have access to a ‘state of the art’ gym which will be launching later this year.
