Michael Nugent Ltd Awarded Contract for Hampton By Hilton Hotel at Edinburgh Airport

February 20, 2018

Michael Nugent Ltd have been awarded the mechanical and electrical contract for the new Hampton by Hilton hotel at Edinburgh Airport. Construction on site is well underway and MNL are making excellent progress.

This 6-storey new build is being constructed on the site of the former immigration police station Saltire House and comes with the addition of an on-site 75 space car park. The ground floor will be utilised for service provision with all bedrooms above ground on levels 1 – 5. The project is being developed as a 240 bedroom four-star HBH hotel, conveniently located within 5 minutes walking distance from Edinburgh airport.

Ian Kettlewell, director of planning consultancy Nathaniel Litchfield & Partners, said that the scheme would address ‘an identified shortfall in the number of rooms around the airport’. He concluded: “It is in a prominent location on a key route into Edinburgh Airport and has been designed to provide a positive landmark building.”

MNL are providing a full mechanical and electrical services installation for this £14m project working closely with main contractors McAleer & Rushe. We have provided M&E services for numerous successful hotel projects in the past with McAleer & Rushe, including the 357-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel at Stansted airport, making this our second Hampton by Hiltomn project delivered at an airport. Initial construction has began on site and we look forward to commencing M&E works in the months.
