£550 a night for a hotel in Edinburgh? | timesonline.co.uk

Can the Scottish capital sustain a design-led hotel when companies are forcing travellers to downgrade. Opening a new lifestyle hotel charging up to £550 a night in a regional UK city in the teeth of recession and slump in business travel is either a very brave or very foolhardy move. Scandinavian hotels group Rezidor is clearly hoping it will be the former when it officially opens the Hotel Missoni in Edinburgh on 8 June, the first of its new design-led lifestyle hotel brand located on a prime site close to Edinburgh Castle on the famous Royal Mile.
