Named for the ground-breaking national newspaper who took up residence in these beautiful Baroque buildings, The Scotsman of today is a luxury hotel which retains many original features, including luxurious floor to ceiling wood panelled rooms, grandiose marble staircase and stained glass windows.

Set across several floors, many of our character bedrooms offer truly unrivalled views of The Mound, Calton Hill and The Princes Street Gardens. If you are looking for a host venue for a truly standout event, we have a range of tastefully furnished and finished rooms and suites.

Although our hotel is steeped in history and known for its classically luxe feel, we reflect the dynamic and forward thinking city in which we operate, so you can expect an extensive list of offbeat signature amenities, such as our wee nip of Whisky on arrival to perk you up, specially selected Arran Sense Of Scotland toiletries, personally chosen reading recommendations, a lazy breakfast in bed (just say the word) and a whole lot more.
