The Roxburghe in Edinburgh has been rebranded as a Crowne Plaza and has re-opened following a revamp of its Club Lounge, main hotel Lounge and Lobby. The hotel, formerly managed by MacDonald Hotels, is now directly managed by Paragon Hotels, under a franchise agreement with InterContinental Hotels. Says Matthew Luscombe, Chief Commercial Officer & SVP Franchise Operations, Europe, IHG, “We are delighted to open Crowne Plaza Edinburgh – The Roxburghe in Scotland’s capital city. The Roxburghe is a shining beacon of the brand’s momentum and bright future.” The 198 room hotel is a Category A Listed Building, originally designed by Robert Adam, the Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer and furniture designer in 1791.
