Quartermile Edinburgh

Boutique Hotel at the centre of Gladedale Capitals Quartermile development
within the Edinburgh World Heritage Site. The 70 bed hotel with cafes,
bars and spa is formed by linking 2 B-Listed medical pavilions designed
by Sidney Mitchell in 1899 on the site of the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The exterior of the buildings have been largely restored and linked by
a 3 storey glass enclosed stairway which also forms the western end of
a new central square at the heart of Foster & Partners masterplan.

Council on Monuments & Sites (Unesco advisers) reportedly extremely
concerned about Quartermile's impact: so-called Twin Towers by Foster
& Partners apparently may risk Edinburgh World Heritage status

Quartermile - Plans

Perspective mid-2003
of Quartermile by Foster & Partners
Revised plans unveiled showing new square, more houses - from around 650
to approx. 1000 - and reduced hotel & office accommodation. New Quartermile
sketch images also released by Foster & Partners. The Surgical Hospital
will now be used for residential rather than a five-star hotel. Controversially
Sydney Mitchell's Red Home is set to be demolished which will surely reignite
negative reaction.

Quartermile - Description:
The project is named Quartermile due to the approximate diagonal distance
across the site and due to being situated a quarter of a mile from both
Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile; the Quartermile site is approx. 20
acres.
