A £7m proposal to erect a 65 bedroom Premier Inn hotel on the site of a former abattoir in St Andrews has been given the go-ahead from planners. The site at Largo Road will also include a restaurant. Work is expected to start straight away.
Meanwhile Whitbread is to build a twin hotel development in Edinburgh’s Old Town. A 127 room Premier Inn and a 130 room Hub by Premier Inn will be built on the Caltongate site. The latter is the first Hub by Premier Inn outside of London. This compact hotel has rooms which only measure 11.4sq.m and it will be the first hotel to allow guests to control temperature, lighting and TV from their smart phones using an app.
