Marriott International has introduced its first Residence Inn - an extended-stay brand - into the UK, in the centre of Edinburgh.
The 107-bedroom Residence Inn Edinburgh has opened within the new Quartermile mixed-use development designed by Foster & Partners and is operated under a franchise agreement with Gladedale Ventures.
The hotel is aimed at travellers wanting to stay five days or more. Each of the studio and one-bedroom suites includes a fully equipped kitchen, as well as living, dining and working spaces.
Amenities include complimentary hot breakfast and Wi-Fi, grocery delivery service, and a 24-hour fitness centre.
The Edinburgh property is only the second Residence Inn in Europe, following the launch of the first one, in Munich, last month. There are more than 620 Residence Inns in the USA, Canada and South America.
Marriott has 174 hotels in Europe spanning 18 brands, with the addition of the first extended stay Residence Inn planned to open in Munich in 2012.
