UK - Design practice KBA has been commissioned to create a luxury hotel on the site of a former Standard Life office in the centre of Edinburgh. The hotel is the brainchild of Montpeliers (Edinburgh), the award-winning style bar, hotel and restaurant operator.

The development, yet to be named, is located within an imposing five storey Georgian townhouse at the west end of Edinburgh's stylish shopping district. The building will offer 33 bedrooms, including deluxe suites, a restaurant, bars and private members lounge.

Kerr Blyth, managing director of KBA comments, "Montpeliers has long been a supporter of our integrated design approach. I am delighted that we have been commissioned to bring this landmark project to fruition, all the way through from developing the brief to the final product.

KBA celebrates its third birthday this year. Its portfolio of completed projects includes Opal Lounge, Edinburgh (MTV Style Bar 2004), Halo Bar, Edinburgh (Theme Magazine Best Interior Design shortlist 2003), Circus Café, Edinburgh, Attica Restaurant, London and Orocco Pier, South Queensferry. KBA says it is currently working on a number of significant leisure and residential projects in Scotland, the UK and Europe.
