Unrivaled, direct views of Edinburgh Castle from the 'Wallace' dining room
The 'Anything, Anytime' service button actually works
Interiors that feel like a cozy, tartan-draped cocoon rather than a hotel
快速了解: A stunningly beautiful jewelry box of a hotel that trades a gym and pool for endless whisky and castle views.
@conciergekate 的评论:I felt like actual Scottish royalty staying here. The interiors are stunning—think custom tartan and velvet everywhere. My favorite detail was the 'Do Not Disturb' sign shaped like a sporran! And sipping a cocktail with that direct view of Edinburgh Castle? Unbeatable.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is there a gym on site?
No. You get access to a nearby health club, but you have to leave the building.
Can I bring friends to the bar?
Generally no. The Wallace and Ghillie's Pantry are exclusive to residents.
Is it noisy?
Princes Street is very busy, but soundproofing is excellent. Rear rooms are silent but lack views.
How much is parking?
Valet is £80 per day. It is highly recommended to arrive by train (Waverley is 5 mins away).
Do all rooms have Castle views?
No. You must specifically book a 'Castle View' category. Rear rooms face other buildings.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It costs around £35 for the full Scottish option.
内部人士建议
✨
Ask to see the 'Ghillie's Pantry' even if you don't drink whisky; it's a stunning hidden room.
✨
The 'Do Not Disturb' signs are actual sporrans — a cute photo op.
✨
The staircase mural depicts the journeys of Scottish botanists; take the stairs at least once to see it.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The entrance is so subtle you might walk past it (it looks like a shop front or private door).
💡The 'terrace' suites at the back are quieter but have zero view of the Castle.
💡You can order 'anything, anytime' — guests have requested specific rare whiskies and gotten them.
💡The bathroom floors are heated, which is a lifesaver in Scottish winters.
💡There is no lobby in the traditional sense; you are whisked straight up to the lounge.
