What makes a Luxury 5 Star Hotels Edinburgh experience, special?
Attention to detail goes a long way! In this day and age of multi-nationals, the smaller independent operators can only survive through good old fashioned care and personal service. Being a smaller, boutique operation allows a more unique experience, where you are not treated as just another number. Quality counts! With less volume to manage, attention detail becomes easier and more robust. Everything from locally sourced produce for breakfast to bespoke hand made decor and premium quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Travel like a local! Tourism is huge in an ever growing capital city. Your stay is enhanced with local knowledge of the many hidden gems on offer in and around the city. Your 5 Star experience is enhanced with 5 Star recommendations which cover not only local places to eat but local attractions and hidden must see gems.
Large 5-Star hotels are often too big and busy to cater to your needs. Independent operations ensure you are always kept comfortable and often provide that wow experience by virtue of the intrinsic value associated with a lessor workload.

Common Questions:
Where is the nicest part of Edinburgh?
The Southside is the nicest part of Edinburgh. We say this because Arthur’s Seat forms the epicentre and brings glorious nature to our doorsteps. Craigmillar Castle is the most intact castle ruin in all of Scotland and is also on The Southside. The famous Rosslyn Chapel is South and the oldest pub in Scotland plus much more…
How much does it cost to stay at a 5-star hotel in Edinburgh?
Price varies. Avoid the city centre, go roughly 1 mile out and enjoy a real luxury experience without the city centre price tag, city centre noise and city centre crowds.
Are there 5-star hotels in Edinburgh with free cancellation?
After Covid, many have free cancellation. TIP: NEVER use a 3rd party booking website like booking .com or Expedia / Hotels . com .. They are click bait, designed to take your money (through the back door). They can never offer anything, the property can not offer by Booking Direct.
Transport Links:
We are located 1 mile from the city centre. We are on the main road in and out of town (A701). We have a 24 hour Taxi Butler service. In moments, you can summon a Black London style Taxi to our front door. It is only around £7 or so to the city centre.
We are the closest location for free parking to the city centre. You can also use your car to visit many local sites. Rosslyn Chapel to our south. Craigmillar Castle, Duddingston village and the oldest pub in Scotland (The Sheep’s Heid).
