Overlooking Carlton Hill, Princes Street Gardens, and Waverley Station, the esteemed 4-star Scotsman Hotel was originally constructed in 1905. This splendid, historic structure was formerly home to The Scotsman newspaper.

Every distinctive room and suite at the Scotsman Hotel features unique attributes, such as curved corner window bays that provide breathtaking views of the city and a marble-tiled en suite bathroom. Guests can indulge in luxurious Egyptian cotton linens, enjoy a 48-seat cinema, access complimentary Wi-Fi, receive the Scotsman Newspaper for free, and take advantage of a privacy hatch for round-the-clock room service.

Located just a minute’s walk from the Royal Mile and Princes Street, this hotel also offers discounted parking at the Edinburgh Waverley Station car park (long stay), which is a mere 5-10 minutes’ stroll away.

Couples have a strong preference for the location, giving it a rating of 9.6 for trips taken as a pair.
