The Chris Stewart Group with some of the most historically rich buildings in Scotland’s capital was our first choice for Edinburgh when we opened discussions in 2019. These will be our first properties outside London and a huge step in our ever-evolving journey and ambition to become the pre-eminent leader in luxury serviced apartment accommodation worldwide for any length of stay.”
Located in prime city hotspot, St Andrew Square, Cheval The Edinburgh Grand includes 50 apartments, The Register Club, an onsite cocktail lounge and bar and a CaveFit gym.
