the World Of Hospitality
Seating in the restaurant and bar is a mix of bespokedesigned aged dark tan leather chairs with brass stud
detailing and banquettes with smoky blue velvet backs
and blue leather seats. Tables are in dark-stained oak.
Tall, ribbed glass screens with inset LED lighting break
up the space and create a feeling of semi-privacy.
Chalk boards for specialities of the day are inset
into the screens, whilst angled mirrors above the
banquettes allow for discreet people-watching.

Accessories in the space refer to Edinburgh’s literary
heritage and include excerpts from correspondence,
set into clustered oval frames; a display of vintage
type-writers and Scottish novels, as well as vintage
printing press lettering, referring to the building’s very

printing press.

listed space, follows a similar colourway, but includes
more obviously contemporary elements, including
deep blue-green ceramic tiling and a special lighting
display of ceramic pendants in varying sizes in the
same blue-green colourway. Flooring and wallpanelling is in light oak and the banquette seating is
in blue leather. A central feature, directly below the
centrepiece lighting, is a wonderful long and bespoke
oak refectory bench with seats, which pivot under the
bench when not in use.
