Travellers to Edinburgh will have the opportunity to check-into a new budget hotel from 2028 following the decision by Edinburgh City Council to mind to grant planning permission for a new Premier Inn at Edinburgh Airport.<\/p>\n
Whitbread plc, which owns the Premier Inn brand, worked with development company Riverstone Hotels Ltd, to secure permission for the 218-bedroom hotel on Eastfield Road, on the main entranceway to the airport.<\/p>\n
The permission, which follows months of positive engagement with Edinburgh City Council, paves the way for Premier Inn to grow its presence in the catchment serving Scotland’s busiest airport and a gateway to more than 155 domestic and international destinations.<\/p>\n
Currently, Premier Inn serves the 16 million passengers who use Edinburgh Airport each year from two nearby hotels (Edinburgh Park (Airport)<\/a> and Edinburgh Airport (M9, Jct1<\/a>) – with the new location offering Premier Inn customers the ability to walk from the main terminal building to the new hotel in less than ten minutes.<\/p>\n Whitbread and Riverstone announced their intention to develop the 218-room hotel in November 2024, with Riverstone submitting a planning application for the L-shaped, ground plus four storey building in the spring.<\/p>\n The hotel will feature a mixture of Premier Inn’s latest style bedrooms including its popular Premier Plus rooms, as well as the brand’s welcoming ‘The Social’ space on the ground floor.<\/p>\n It will be designed to be powered solely by electricity generated by renewable sources and the plans include 100 car parking spaces for hotel guests.<\/p>\n Hotel website<\/a><\/p>\n Premier Inn Edinburgh Airport Edinburgh<\/a>United Kingdom<\/a>![\"Premier](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/its-speedy-boarding-for-premier-inn-at-edinburgh-airport.jpg\")
