With Edinburgh's busiest month of the year fast approaching, a swish new hotel has reopened following a half-a-million pound refurbishment.
Located in the city centre, Native Aparthotel has now opened its doors to visitors after an incredible 14-month renovation to completely transform the site.
With sites all over the UK, the brand has given the building a stunning new look, and even features its own hidden coffee bar that moonlights as a cocktail speakeasy.

Filled with studios and one bedroom apartments, images have given a sneak preview inside the hotel, from its sleek new lobby and lounge to the funky pink bedrooms and artwork.
Said to have been inspired by some of the capital's biggest inventors, including John Logie Baird and Sir Alexander Fleming, guests should be able to spot some 'quirky gadgets' as a tribute to them around the building.

The lobby is also now inspired by the Royal Botanic Gardens, with its green tones and leafy prints designed to mimic the park just down the road.
Coinciding with the re-opening, Native Edinburgh is launching a new speakeasy bar; Counter. Counter will serve coffee by day and cocktails by night providing an undiscovered destination bar in the heart of city centre for guests and locals.
The Counter at Native Edinburgh will also be home to a new bespoke cultural programme, spotlighting local produce in the daytime and homegrown talent at night. Late night summer programming will see the venue host a range of acts from neo-soul jazz nights and vinyl DJs to spoken word poetry. Counter will shine a light on up-and-coming creatives from around the city, including artists, writers, musicians and more.
Olivia Immesi, Managing Director says, “Each Native site celebrates the best of its surrounding area and Native Edinburgh’s refurbishment reflects the history of the city, and a focus on local culture to allow guests to plug into the city, whether they’re passing through or staying for longer.”
Perfectly situated 20 minutes by car from Edinburgh airport, rooms at Native Edinburgh are priced from £100 per night.
