It will also have an extended food and beverage offering that includes pre-mixed alcoholic drinks and miniatures offered for sale at the bar and hot food in the lounge including a selection of pizzas and chicken wings.
Within the new Edinburgh property, there will be free, superfast WiFi throughout the public areas and the guest rooms, which also feature luxury Hypnos beds with fabric headboards and throws from the Isle of Bute, power showers, mood lighting and a 43-inch Samsung Smart TV, with Google Chromecast which allows customers to watch their own content on the hotel TV, providing a home from home experience.
“Our Edinburgh hotel will be beautifully designed offering our guests a sense of style without a huge price tag,” commented Nic Wenn, Managing Director, Point A Hotels. “It is located centrally and will give those wishing to attend the Edinburgh Fringe easy access to catch one of the many great performances across the city.”
Guests of Point A Edinburgh will be able to take advantage of extra-value offers and deals at local bars and restaurants through Point A Hotels’ free-to-join signature loyalty programme, the A- List.

Six of the Point A Hotels are in London – Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, King’s Cross St Pancras, Paddington, Westminster and Canary Wharf – and one is in Glasgow, Scotland. A further hotel in London is due to open this summer in Kensington, located on West Cromwell Road.
