All room and corridor lighting has also been upgraded to LED bulbs as part of the hotel’s commitment to net zero.
The refurbishment underlines the Springford family’s commitment to the hotel, which was the first property purchased by Norman Springford for Apex Hotels in 1996. Apex now has nine properties across the UK, including properties in London, Bath, Glasgow , Edinburgh, Dundee and Pitlochry, where the Pine Trees were last year.

Ronnie MacKay, Edinburgh cluster general, said: “We are delighted to be upgrading our rooms and corridors for our customers to enjoy. Apex City of Edinburgh is a popular destination in the heart of Grassmarket in Edinburgh’s Old Town, with some of the best views of Edinburgh Castle and the city.”
Apex said it had been working with Ian Springford Architects for design consultancy, with the CLC Group the main contractor overseeing the work.
Michael Stott, commercial director of Apex Hotels, said: “Apex Hotels continues to grow after a positive financial year, allowing us to reinvest in our properties across the UK. We recognize Edinburgh’s popularity as a destination and the high standards our guests expect. This investment will provide even more capacity at the hotel and ensure that our visitors have the very best stay with us.”
