The new hotel, at St James Quarter, will bring a playful twist on Scottish culinary culture with three dining concepts. The top floors and panoramic terraces of the hotel will be home to Scotland’s first Sushisamba restaurant and a Brazilian-inspired speakeasy cocktail bar named Joao’s Place, alongside a buzzing iteration of the W Lounge.

The destination W Lounge will serve as the social epicentre of the hotel, reimagining Gaelic cuisine and rewarding guests with the finest unfettered and unrivalled 360-degree views of Edinburgh. Transcending day to night, the sharing concept menu and cocktails will focus on using the best produce from Scotland, Ireland & Wales. Photo: Third Party
