The Marriott-owned brand is also due to unveil W Sydney in mid-October as its global expansion continues.
W Edinburgh, which will feature 199 rooms and 45 suites, will be located within the new St James Quarter development in the centre of the Scottish capital.
The hotel’s interiors have been designed by London-based practice Jestico + Whiles, which has “reimagined the best of Scotland with locally rooted influences” for the W Edinburgh’s decor.
