Edinburgh restaurant Steak becomes boutique hotel Twelve Picardy Place
The Directors of Steak have taken over the No.12 building to create a new 10-bedroom luxury boutique hotel with unrivalled views of Edinburgh, employing 18 members of staff in the process.
“Following the opening of our highly successful restaurant Steak Edinburgh on Picardy Place, we are delighted to announce the takeover of No.12 Picardy Place which heralds a new and exciting chapter for our new brand,” said Michele Civiera, Director of Steak and the Edinburgh New Town Company. “This is a very exciting time for us indeed and we look forward to the official launch in December.”
The transformation of the unused upper floors of the townhouse building into individually designed bedrooms and suites was completed by Scottish property consultancy HK Surveying & Design. The company has described the space as ‘one of the most technically cutting edge and leading design boutique hotel accommodations in Scotland’.
The hotel’s public areas include a new wine vault, cocktail bar and terrace, while the individually-styled guestrooms feature a range of luxurious bed linen, soaking tubs, rainforest showers and 3D HD-LED televisions.
Guestrooms have been designed to offer guests a contemporary twist on the traditional Edinburgh experience. Each bedroom and suite is named after a Scottish loch, with photographer Chris MacKenzie providing the Scottish landscape shots mounted on the walls of each room.
