Frasers Opens Second Property in Scotland
Frasers Suites Edinburgh
NOVEMBER 18, 2009 - Superbly located in St Giles Street, just off the city's famous Royal Mile, this inner-city property combines the fully-restored historic façade of a 130-year-old building with contemporary interiors and services in 75 luxury suites. Original features of this Grade B listed building including high ceilings and ornate cornicing, blend comfortably with understated elegance, allowing guests to take a step back into history.
“The experience of developing Fraser Suites Edinburgh has given us valuable insights into the potential of bringing these historical buildings back to life for a whole new generation of business and leisure travellers. They have an experiential appeal that sets them apart, but at the same time, provide all the modern conveniences that discerning travellers have come to expect.” said Mr Choe Peng Sum, Chief Executive Officer, Frasers Hospitality Pte Ltd.
