Hotels in Edinburgh

Luxurious Edinburgh Old Town hotels lie in converted townhouses and one-time royal residences. Surrounded by late-night lounges and chic cocktail bars, decadent hotels in Edinburgh's New Town are boldly finished with plush furniture and vivid colours. A burgeoning hotel scene has accompanied waterside Leith's emergence as a culinary quarter. Quirky hotels here now attract fashionable couples rather than wayward sailors.
Old Town hotels

Old Town hotels

In Edinburgh's Old Town, weatherworn stone facades are jewelled by garlands of blossoming flowers. Leading off the cobbled Royal Mile, the steep adjoining ‘wynds' lanes harbour compact, traditional basement pubs. Edinburgh hotels here are often attractions in themselves, converted from picturesque townhouses with a kilt-wearing bagpiper stationed nearby.
New Town hotels

New Town hotels

Hotels in Edinburgh's New Town are enveloped in Georgian splendour, where shady crescents punctuate towering stone terraces. Facing tranquil Princes Street Gardens, Princes Street tempts shoppers to plunder high-street stores. Retreat to cosy cafes in nearby side streets for buttery home-made scones and hot cocoa.
West End hotels

West End hotels

Shakespearean tragedies and searing dramas delight audiences at the West End's Lyceum Theatre. Boutique Edinburgh hotels here are relaxed and accommodating. Actors and grand dames wind down after curtain call with a slowly savoured shot of whisky at pubs in the shadow of moonlit Edinburgh Castle.
Leith hotels

Leith hotels

Sailors have long docked in harbour-side Leith, the final resting place of the magnificent HMS Britannia yacht. Succulent North Sea Scottish scallops are a speciality in the area's seafood restaurants. Edinburgh hotels facing the sea are homely vantage points on those atmospheric days when dramatic North Sea storms lash the shore.
