Just off Festival Square, close to the castle and a short walk from Princes Street, this attractive hotel is perfectly placed!
The rooms are large in size and are kept in very good condition, as are the bathrooms. The rooms have a traditional decor and furnishings, accented in tartan colours.There is a choice of restaurants. The more informal one looks out onto Festival Square, and with its conservatory, it gives a very bright, breezy feel. The more formal restaurant is darker and very elegant, retaining the characteristics of a Scottish baronial mansion. In addition, the hotel now also has an Italian brasserie as part of the new spa complex.
Opened in September 2001, the hotel now boasts one of the finest spa and health clubs in Europe. Spread over six floors, One Spa includes a 19-metre ozone friendly swimming pool, aromatic baths, hydrotherapy pool and 13 treatment rooms offering ESPA holistic therapies. It also includes a rooftop outdoor pool that looks out over the Edinburgh skyline. It is an extraordinary experience. The health club has sauna and steam rooms, as well as a state-of-the-art fitness studio.
