Jansons Property has proposed to transform a historic City landmark into a luxury hotel. India Buildings in Victoria Street (Edinburgh) could create up to 650 jobs as well as £5.3million visitor spending a year! Not only would the building containing a 240-bedroom hotel, but also restaurants, bars, retail and commercial spaces.

PictureJansons would like to preserve most of the buildings original features such as the viewing galleries and the three-tier domed rotunda. This would then still give the hotel development the 19th Century look but also keeping it modern.
