CSG said that 329 High Street had been leased from Edinburgh City Council in 2019 and “transformed from functional, redundant office space to create 24 luxury serviced apartments with reception area and restaurant”.
Edinburgh-based CSG said the refurbished 18th century property would now operate as an extension to Cheval Old Town Chambers, the Herald revealed.
It will be situated in the medieval closes running from the Royal Mile behind 329 High Street towards Princes Street Gardens and brings the total number of short and long-term lets within the development to 75.
The 140-cover Luckenbooths restaurant will be managed by The Bon Vivant Group, the company behind Edinburgh venues including The Devil’s Advocate and El Cartel.
It is believed to appeal to families and will serve guests of the apartments, tourists and local residents..
Chris Stewart, chief executive of CSG, said: “Working with the traditional façade with listed status and creating a stylish and classic interior...has been a rewarding experience for the whole team.”
