Comprising 27 apartments ranging in scale from cosy studios to spectacular penthouses, RÌGH Residences has been designed to reflect the varying needs of the modern traveller, merging together the opulence of a high-end hotel with the flexibility of self-catering accommodation.

Designed with an eye for detail and design, the apartments benefit from sleek design-led interiors. Many of them can be interconnected to allow for larger group bookings and to accommodate guests looking for extra space. Whilst apartments on the 1st through 4th floors include original fixtures and fittings, the fifth floor will have a much more modernist feel thanks to its custom-built set of penthouse apartments.

The specialist glass construction has been created with the intention to celebrate its unbeatable views of Edinburgh, which stretch to the castle, as well as across Leith, and over the Firth of Forth towards the Queensferry Crossing.

General manager David Grieve said: “Our whole team is so looking forward to welcoming our first guests later this year. RÌGH Residences will bring a truly unique approach to luxury accommodation in the very heart of the Scottish capital.

“We recognise that guests are now looking for an experience fully tailored to their needs, and we have designed a concept which truly reflects this. Each of the apartments have state of the art room management technology which includes climate control and Sky TV to allow for guests to make the most of their stays, and each of the apartments will be furnished with a fully equipped kitchenette giving flexibility and have plenty of room to relax and unwind.

“There will also be pet-friendly apartments available, a comfortable lounge space and we have partnered with some of our favourite local businesses so that our guests can enjoy the best of the capital.”

The development is the largest-scale project for RÌGH Properties, which currently operates a number of self-catering apartments in the centre of Edinburgh.
