The four star Edinburgh Marriott Hotel has unveiled a stylish new look following the completion of a £2.5m refurbishment in June 2008 that has transformed its bedrooms and public areas and created a new bar and lounge as well as a new restaurant. Weekend break guests can take advantage of the hotel?s proximity to local leisure attractions such as the Edinburgh Zoo or the Gyle Shopping Mall with over 80 shops. With ample free parking and access to great public transportation links it is the perfect base for exploring the historic Edinburgh like Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace. A leisure club offers an indoor heated swimming pool, spa bath, sauna, steam room and gymnasium as well as a hair and beauty salon.
