Historic city centre stay

The Scotsman Hotel is a real slice of Edinburgh history. It’s housed in the grand building that once hosted The Scotsman newspaper, and has been a landmark in the city for over 100 years. Nowadays, the bustle of journalists has been replaced by this luxurious hotel, which makes the perfect place to base yourself on a city break to Edinburgh.

You’ll find the hotel at the end of the North Bridge, which connects Edinburgh’s old and new towns, and it’s just a hop, a skip, and a jump from Waverly Station. And as far as sightseeing goes, you’re well set. The Scotsman Hotel is within a 10-minute walk of some of Edinburgh’s top attractions, including Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle, and the National Galleries. The hotel’s winning location also means many of the rooms have fantastic views over the city.
