About the location (City Centre, Edinburgh)
Nestling in the shadow of picturesque Calton Hill and a few minutes walk from the Playhouse Theatre, the hotel is truly centrally located. There is a wide variety of restaurants nearby offering many choices in dining.
Just a short walk from the hotel is the world famous Princes Street with its magnificent views of the Castle which overlooks the city. Here you will find internationally renowned shops offering the very best of fine cashmeres, Edinburgh Crystal and gifts to suit all tastes.
Edinburgh has all that the visitor could wish for. With many fine art galleries, museums and theatres, a cultural presence is never far away. History is reflected in the Royal Mile, the Palace of Holyrood House and the Castle, all contrasting with the elegant terraces of the 'new town'.
Most of the hotel's rooms provide wonderful views over Royal Terrace gardens and out to the Firth of Forth, or the tranquility of our own private gardens to the rear.
