Acquired in 2016, YTL Hotels Completes Renovation of The 77-Key Glasshouse in Edinburgh
YTL Hotels has completed refurbishments of The Glasshouse, Edinburgh.
First acquired by YTL Hotels in 2016, the 77-room luxury boutique hotel
now boasts a bright reception area, and updates throughout the common
areas and guest bedrooms have fully transformed the overall look and
feel of the hotel. Historical features of the hotel have been carefully
preserved, with nods to the building's 230-year history tastefully
maintained throughout the hotel.??The rooms & suites at The
Glasshouse boast panoramic views of Edinburgh through the bedroom
floor-to-ceiling windows. With the contemporary interiors, guests can
experience a range of room types, from the deluxe rooms with their
accented poppy red decor, to the deluxe garden view rooms which overlook
The Glasshouse's lawned rooftop.
The refreshed 'Snug' area offers guests a cozy space to relax and
unwind whilst sipping on the extensive range of cocktails and Scotch
whiskies now available in the fully serviced bar. Positioned in the
heart of the hotel, the 'Snug' is a favorite amongst regular guests as
the place to unwind, warming beside the open fire, and choosing from a
selection of almost 100 exclusive whiskies. Heading outside to admire
the breathtaking view from the two-acre secret rooftop terrace, guests
can peruse the newly introduced cigar menu while overlooking the whole
city. Known as one of Edinburgh's true hidden gems beneath Calton Hill,
the rooftop allows guests to remove themselves from the urban energy a
few steps away and to relax under a pergola upon the tranquil lawn or
enjoy dining al fresco on the terrace.
Having enjoyed popularity for weddings and private events on the
rooftop oasis, the hotel can now cater to smaller events. More intimate
meetings and parties can take place in the new event space within the
church façade.
The refresh of the hotel further enhances the elegance of the former
Lady Glenorchy Church, ensuring it fully lives up to the reputation of
understated luxury that YTL Hotels holds within its growing UK
portfolio. The YTL Hotels UK collection is rapidly expanding and now
holds flagship properties in Edinburgh, Bath, Bray and London, each
showing commitment to the cultural and natural heritage inherent in each
property it owns. ??
