OMNI enters home stretch of landmark £5 million refurbishment

Edinburgh’s affordable leisure and entertainment hub, OMNi has announced its centre-wide  refurbishment is progressing well and is due to complete at the end of March 2026. 

OMNi is home to brand favourites including Vue, Boom Battle Bar, Wetherspoon, Escape  Hunt, The Glasshouse Hotel, and Edinburgh Street Food.  

The £5 million transformation, which began last summer, is delivering significant  enhancements to the public realm.

These include new flooring throughout the centre, an  upgraded and more visible main entrance, modern LED lighting, new seating zones, and  extensive internal structural improvements.

Together, these upgrades will create a more  vibrant, welcoming, and contemporary space for the local community in the heart of  Edinburgh. 

OMNi is planning a series of celebrations to mark the completion of the project, with further  details to be shared in the coming weeks. 

Neil Mackie, OMNi Edinburgh Centre Manager, said: “We’re thrilled with the progress of the refurbishment and can’t wait to reveal a revitalised  OMNi this spring. These improvements will create a more welcoming and vibrant space for  everyone who visits, works, and relaxes here in the heart of Edinburgh

“With the refurbishment entering its final stage, we’re now shaping our celebration plans and  can’t wait to mark the completion with our community soon!” 

International investment group Triple B acquired OMNi in April 2024 and announced its  commitment to enhancing communities and promoting positive experiences through  transformative real estate projects.

The investment will help OMNi kick-start its journey of  evolution, with locals at the heart of the project. 

Refurbishment updates will be available throughout via the OMNi website and social media  channels. OMNi Edinburgh is open 6am – 1am, Monday to Sunday. Individual brand opening  times may vary, including Bank Holidays.
