Former Edinburgh department store Jenners is set to be returned to its "former glory" and reopen as a luxury hotel featuring a rooftop bar after plans were given the go ahead by councillors.
One of the city centre's most historic buildings, Jenners has occupied a space at the east end of Princes Street for 184 years. But having lain empty since last year when previous occupants Frasers Group shut up shop, the future of the former 'Harrods of the North' was for a time shrouded in uncertainty.
Ambitious plans put forward by AAA United A/S, the holdings company owned by Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen who bought the store for £53 million in 2017, promised to retain the building's early Renaissance style façade whilst making way for new uses.
