Episode Details

Edinburgh’s got a new hotel hotspot — a 1970s office building in Haymarket is being reborn as Meininger’s 38th location and Scotland’s first, with 157 private rooms and 549 beds total thanks to shared dorms. Opening August 5, 2026, it’s packed with perks: bar, kitchen, lounges, and outdoor seating. Behind the scenes, S Harrison — the firm that turned Buchan House into Malmaison — is expanding student housing and urban living in Edinburgh. The renovation was major: tearing down concrete, building two new wings, and adding a top floor. Meininger’s CEO is thrilled, calling Edinburgh a goldmine for travelers and hinting at even bigger projects like Leith’s waterfront development.
