Ogilvie, undertook the construction of a six storey extension to the George Hotel in the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre.  The extension comprised of 50 high quality bedrooms with an executive meeting area at the 6th floor level and space at ground floor level for a gym/spa facility.  We were required to break through to the existing hotel to complete the extension, and undertook alterations and refurbishments with the existing hotel to create a further 5 high quality bedrooms, at the client’s request.

There were significant challenges associated with the project, due to the works location and the restricted space.  We made use of a tower crane during the shell construction period which was positioned in the lift shaft.  We were required to set up a lane closure on Thistle Street to provide space for materials to be delivered to the drop-off area for the crane.  We ensured the hotel remained fully operational throughout the works.

Ogilvie undertook the refurbishment and fit-out of all 269 Guest Bedrooms, including Junior Suites, Presidential Suites, Executive Lounge, Corridors & Lift Lobbies. The scope of works included demolition of internal walls, and temporary support to load-bearing walls. Removal and installation of new windows and bedroom entrance doors. The extensive reconfiguration of the Bedrooms & Bathrooms with new glazed partitions, new bathroom suite including shower cubicle. New scene-setting lighting and controls were installed throughout. New Heating and Water services installations, including new plant items. Reinstatement of new finishes to all walls, floors and ceilings. All works were carried out to a Five Star Standard.
