Historic facade, sleek city-center calm

Behind the preserved Gothic stone facade, the hotel pairs an ultra-modern look with a calm, distinctly local feel. The Snug Bar & Lounge keeps things easy with an all-day menu of locally sourced Scottish cooking, an open fire pit, and a deep Scotch whisky list. When the city feels busy, the two-acre rooftop garden adds fresh air and sweeping Calton Hill views.

  • Rooftop garden reset

    A landscaped two-acre terrace with quiet corners and unobstructed Calton Hill views.

  • Dining with a Scottish point of view

The room was spotless and absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very friendly and helpful in giving recommendations for bars and restaurants. Big shout out to David for all of his advice to make our stay perfect. The snug bar is a must visit - absolutely stunning location to sit and enjoy a drink, or multiple drinks should I say! The hotel was clean throughout, with a lovely decor throughout. Our suite was just perfect and we will definitely be returning!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in an excellent location and directly accessible on the tram from the airport. The only issue is the lack of adequate signage outside - they need a bigger sign that lights up! The elevator was not working when we were stayed so we had a long walk up 4 flights of stairs each time we left the hotel, which ensured we got our steps in each day! Other than that, the staff were extremely helpful (shoutout to Issac) and very engaged. We attended the Burns dinner at the hotel and it was an experience I will never forget! I would definitely stay here again.
