Character and identity
Set across seven interconnected Georgian townhouses on one of New Town's smartest blocks, this 199-room property (18 suites among them) layers midcentury glamour over the original bones, with hand-drawn wildlife prints, tartan throws, and red vintage-look telephones standing in for corporate branding. The signage is so discreet you could walk past it. The Garden, a conservatory-style room under a glass roof, handles breakfast, Twilight Tea, and botanical cocktails, while BABA brings a Middle Eastern menu to the lineup. A recently renovated wellness floor adds a mood-lit pool, sauna, steam room, and a full class schedule. Service is relaxed and young-skewing.
Who's it for
Best for:
Style-literate couples and solo travellers who want a design-driven base for exploring Edinburgh's shopping, restaurants, and nightlife on foot. The spa, library, and cocktail programme reward guests who treat the hotel as a daytime retreat between cultural outings. Upgrade for roll-top baths, record players, and handmade mattresses.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone expecting a serious dinner destination should plan to eat out; the in-house food leans toward breakfast and lighter fare. Travellers who want polished, formal service or a quiet residential setting may find the young team and central-city buzz a mismatch.
Bottom line
What defines a stay here is the design and the location working in tandem: a genuinely stylish boutique feel inside seven Georgian townhouses, with New Town's best streets at the door. Book a suite for the roll-top bath and record player, use The Garden for breakfast and cocktails, and plan dinners elsewhere in the city.
