Episode Details

Edinburgh’s historic Osborne House, a 1970s office building in the heart of Haymarket, has been transformed into a sleek 157-bed MEININGER Hotel set to open August 5th—perfect timing for the city’s festival season. The renovation wasn’t just cosmetic: part of the original 50-year-old structure was demolished to add two new wings and an extra floor, complete with a bar, guest kitchen, lounge areas, and an outdoor terrace. Developed by S Harrison, the project revitalizes a tired landmark and boosts the area’s appeal, thanks to its prime location near Princes Street and Haymarket station. This marks MEININGER’s 38th European location and underscores Edinburgh’s strong tourism demand. S Harrison, known for converting Malmaison and building student housing, is also eyeing a major new student development on a brownfield site—solidifying their role in reshaping Edinburgh’s urban and hospitality landscape.
