🏨 Accommodation in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's most design-forward hostel in a converted bank on Grassmarket — sleek pod bunks, private rooms, a rooftop bar, and a central location beneath the castle. Code has redefined what Edinburgh hostel accommodation should look and feel like.

📍2-6 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh EH1 2EW

A 28-room boutique hotel in two Victorian townhouses in Stockbridge — Edinburgh's most charming village neighborhood. Plaid fabrics, original fireplaces, antler trophies, and an excellent whisky selection in the drawing room create an authentically Scottish atmosphere.

📍10 Gloucester Place, Edinburgh EH3 6EF

A stylish 78-room hotel whose profits go directly to surgical training charities — excellent rooms, a reliable restaurant, and an Old Town location with close proximity to the Surgeons' Hall museums and the Royal Mile. Good value and a good cause.

📍10 Hill Place, Edinburgh EH8 9DS

Edinburgh's grande dame hotel — a Victorian railway hotel at the end of Princes Street with a famous clock (set 3 minutes fast so guests miss their trains), the Michelin-starred Number One restaurant, and the suite where J.K. Rowling finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

📍1 Princes Street, Edinburgh EH2 2EQ

The most theatrical place to sleep in Scotland — nine dramatically decorated suites in a 16th-century merchant's house at the top of the Royal Mile, draped in antique tapestries, oak paneling, and gothic candlelight. The restaurant below is one of Edinburgh's most celebrated dining rooms.

📍Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 2NF
