Hide AdMr Dempster, 33, said he wanted to make the West End hotel "the place to be seen" in Edinburgh. The hotel reopened in 2008 following a 4 million revamp.
He said: "My key objective is to continue the award-winning success of the Rutland but also to change the outdated perception of what the venue is by establishing what it truly is – one of Edinburgh's premier venues to eat, drink and party."
