Once part of the original Caledonian Railway station, The Caledonian Edinburgh has unveiled a redesign that pays tribute to the building’s long history while bringing a fresh contemporary character.
At the heart of the transformation is The Court, the hotel’s newly reimagined restaurant, where a striking lighting installation – designed by Cunningham McLean and created by Northern Lights – takes centre stage.
Designed to echo the steam that once filled the station’s grand halls, the feature spans 4 metres high and 7 metres long, with 58 individually assembled opal acrylic globes in graduating sizes arranged along a sweeping golden spine. The redesign marks a new chapter for the landmark property as it joins Hilton’s Curio Collection, blending heritage with modern luxury.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
