Ibis Edinburgh Royal Mile Hunter Square

As you’d well expect, given the name, this super central hotel sits just off the Royal Mile, meaning easy access to iconic sights, as well as a whole host of shops, bars, and restaurants. 

Before you head out to see the city, you’ll need a good breakfast, which is well taken care of by the morning buffet spread in the onsite restaurant. Once you’ve filled your boots, the National Museum of Scotland is as good a place to kick off the sightseeing tour as any – and it’s just four minutes’ walk away. Delve into world cultures, science and technology, art, fashion, and Scottish history all under one handy roof. 

As you make your way back to the hotel, don’t forget to take a stroll along the Royal Mile, which is just six minutes away from the property and connects Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace, the Queen's residence in Scotland. You can also take a walk through Edinburgh’s Old Town, which is the city's oldest neighbourhood, dating back to medieval times.
