An historic Edinburgh building could be turned into a plush new aparthotel if plans are approved by the city council.
An application has been put forward this week to transform a series of offices on George IV Bridge into the new accommodation, which would even include a roof terrace.
Located at 17 George Bridge, the proposals hope to give a new purpose to the floors above the Vittoria restaurant, which are currently occupied by the Faculty of Advocates.

With the faculty set to move to a new location, plans submitted by Sundial Properties and Destiny Scotland hope to change the use of the B-listed property to short-term lets.
If given the green light by the council, the first and second floor would be redesigned internally, creating nine new apartments with a modern decor.
In addition, the attic level would also have alterations made to the roof, to allow for the creation of a viewing point and sliding glass doors opening up onto a specially-made terrace.

Providing guests with impressive views over the Old Town, a design statement read: "The proposal is to convert the first and second floors of the building from office space to an aparthotel. The current internal layout will be reconfigured to form nine self-contained units, all accessed from the original staircase.
"A flat roofed dormer extension will be constructed above the original staircase to allow the stair to extend upwards to the attic level. At attic/roof level, two new dormers (including the stair dormer) will be inserted to the existing roof on the west (rear) of the building.
"A new terrace will also be formed allowing external access from one of the units. None of these will be visible from street level. The apartments have been designed in a way to limit the internal alterations required and to ensure that most of the original features can be retained."
