The Apex hotel will open in January 2009, situated on Waterloo Place at the east end of Princes Street, just one minute from the station and close to the main shopping district.

Mivan's work, due for completion within six months, involves manufacturing and installing joinery related items to the hotel's 177 bedrooms — assisting the Scottish Executive's target of an additional 1,500 hotel bedrooms of four-star standard by 2015.

Part of a major redevelopment, working directly for Bovis Lend Lease and from the designs of Ian Springford Architects, Mivan will be delivering the Front and Back of House joinery packages totalling around £3.3m.

Mivan's front of house package includes bespoke joinery, doors and ironmongery supply and install and timber flooring.

The back of house package includes joinery works on all of the bedrooms and corridors, consisting of wardrobes, headboards, shower screens, skirtings, vanity mirror units, timber flooring, doors and ironmongery, and wall panelling.

Mivan's business development director Stephen Mills said: "We are delighted at securing another major UK hotel interiors contract. This is Mivan's first contract at an Apex Hotel, but we have worked with Bovis Lend Lease over the past 10 years including projects at the Scottish Parliament, the new Civil Justice Centre in Manchester, The Trafford Centre and most recently the new Echo Arena and Convention Centre in Liverpool."
