The renovation of the hotel, which dates from the early 1800s, has been hailed as “a pivotal moment in the regeneration of the area”. The Rutland offers views of Edinburgh Castle and is situated across from the Johnnie Walker whiskey tourist attraction Princes Street.

Signature Pubs, which bought the Rutland in 2008, said the venue’s “revived aesthetic continues to pay homage to the building’s homeland”. The nine bedrooms feature artwork inspired by “iconic” Scottish brands and Mulberry wallpaper, and offer a “bath butler” package that includes products from Arran Aromatics. There are also fully stocked bar carts offering Scottish drinks, from Edinburgh Cold Town Ale to Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky.
Meanwhile, The Huxley and Kyloe have been redesigned by Birmingham firm Tibbatts Abel. A new menu at The Huxley “celebrates Scottish classics with a touch of American soul”. While Kyloe’s gourmet menu has not been changed, the interior has been renovated to provide a “more delicious dining experience”.
Louise MacLean, business development manager for Signature Pubs, said: “Every detail during this refurbishment has been meticulously curated to ensure an unparalleled guest experience, whether eating, drinking or dreaming. We want our guests to feel relaxed, at home, and to experience affordable Scottish luxury at every touch point.

“Although these three venues stand alone in their offering, character and design, they are united in their collective vision to deliver unforgettable experiences with first class Scottish hospitality in an iconic location in Edinburgh providing a well-positioned offering ideal for international tourists, corporate visitors and locals alike.”
