Plans to build a new four-storey 12-bedroom hotel and two short-term rental flats in the car park of the Canny Man’s Morningside pub have been given the go-ahead by the City of Edinburgh Council.
The car park on Canaan Lane lies between the pub, its beer garden, and the Lane Hotel- which is already owned by the Canny Man’s owners, Kerr Pubs and Hotels.
According to the design statement, this space is sacrificial in relation to current use and deemed the best location to consider a new building” because the pub customers don’t travel to the Canny Man’s by car.
The new hotel is expected to have four rooms with en-suite bathrooms on each of the first, second and third floors while the ground floor will have two apartments with their own front door as well as a small rear garden.
