Mollie’s, the hybrid motel and diner brand, has agreed terms for a new site at Edinburgh Park in partnership with developers Parabola.
The planned hotel and diner, subject to planning permission and licensing, would be the company’s first location in Scotland and is scheduled to open in 2028. The site is close to Edinburgh Park station, with access to the M8, city bypass, tram and bus services.
The 73,000 sq ft development is expected to include about 200 rooms, a diner with outdoor terrace, meeting and event spaces, and parking with electric vehicle charging points.
Mollie’s said the design would align with the surrounding architecture and complement Parabola’s wider development of the area.
Edinburgh Park is being developed into a mixed-use district under the City Plan 2030, which aims to transform the area into a high-density, sustainable extension of the city.
According to Mollie’s and Parabola, the hotel would add to the vibrancy of the area, which also includes the planned AEG entertainment arena.
Matt Bell, managing director of Mollie’s, said: “We’re excited to announce our first Mollie’s location in Scotland – bringing our category-defining diner and hotel concept to this amazing city. Mollie’s are positively different by design: bold yet modest, stylish yet relaxed, always warm, always fun; committed to delivering an outstanding value, carefully curated and effortlessly relevant guest experience.
“As a new urban quarter that will not only become an exciting place to live and work but also a cultural destination and creative campus for Edinburgh, serviced by exceptional transport links, Edinburgh Park is the perfect location for Mollie’s fourth site and we’re truly delighted to work with Parabola to achieve this.”
Tony Hordon, managing director of Parabola, added: “Having experienced Mollie’s in Bristol, we knew it was the perfect fit in terms of brand, quality and ethos. Their customer-focused hospitality and vibrant food and beverage offering will be a fantastic addition to Edinburgh’s hotel scene. We’re delighted to welcome them into our masterplan, especially alongside the soon-to-begin AEG Arena.”
Founded in 2019, Mollie’s is a certified B-Corp inspired by American motels and diners. The brand operates hotels in Bristol and Oxfordshire, with a Manchester location due to open later this year.
