Plans to develop a new 300 bedroom hotel one one of Edinburgh's busiest shopping streets has been met with a positive reaction from locals.
Ruby Hotels have submitted the hotel plans to Edinburgh City Council. The plan is to repurpose the empty retail units which are located right in the middle of Princes Street, previously home to Next, Zara and Russell and Bromley alongside the spaces above the former shops.
This comes after many worries from many residents about the future of Princes Street due to the amount of shops that closed due to the pandemic and relocating to the St James Quarter.
