About This Property

Planted in Edinburgh’s Old Town, this property merges 19th-century architecture with contemporary design, steps from Grassmarket and a short walk from Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Guest rooms pair vintage charm with modern comfort, featuring a distinctive two-chamber layout with a lounge bed ideal for reading and relaxing, a separate dressing area, and sliding privacy doors that create flexible space. The hotel spans multiple drinking and dining experiences, from the intimate Funny Library coffee and wine bar to the refined Commons Club restaurant and the late-night energy of Eve. A 24-hour fitness center keeps guests on track, while the location puts Scotland’s rich history—museums, galleries, and local restaurants—within easy reach. Old Town’s preserved medieval streets and Georgian architecture frame every exploration.
