Silvan House Gets Hotel Makeover

Silvan House, the iconic office block across from Edinburgh Zoo, is set to become a 235-room hotel—reviving a vacant landmark with smart, sustainable upgrades. The five-story building, once home to the Forestry Commission, will retain its core structure while getting new windows, a refreshed entrance, and modern amenities including a 160-seat restaurant, bar, fitness center, and event space. Biking enthusiasts will love the dedicated storage for 26 bikes, and parking remains intact with EV charging. Designed for efficiency and reuse, this transformation turns a neglected asset into a prime city-center hotel—perfect for tourists, travelers, and event-goers near the airport and stadium.
