Plans to transform an Edinburgh nightclub and festival venue into a boutique hotel have been given the go-ahead by Edinburgh City Council.
The Cow Shed, Bar Bados and Subway nightclub on The Cowgate in central Edinburgh are set to be refurbished as a hotel with 26 bedrooms, a bar restaurant and events facilities.
The planning document submitted by the venue’s operator, Bruce Group Scotland, claim the new development will have a “boutique Scottish feel to it with the bar and restaurant offering a street food marketplace atmosphere within the stone walls”. “The function room to the rear would be used for a variety of more casual events including live music with a Celtic culture music bias, arts-type events and exhibitions.”
It is not yet known when renovations will begin on the Cowgate premises.
