The Scotsman Edinburgh
The Scotsman Edinburgh overview
A flamboyant and beautiful baroque hotel built in 1899 with a significant Scottish history; the National newspaper The Scotsman took up residence in 1901 which the hotel is named after.
The historic listed building retains many original features and is unique in terms of its history and purpose. A major highlight of this hotel is the swanky cinema with just 48 seats.
At the base of the Old Town and a couple of minutes walk from Waverley Station, it is a prime location for both Old Town and New Town with panoramic views across the city rooftops and Princes Street Gardens up to the castle.
The 4 star hotel has 8 meeting rooms, 24 hour front desk, laundry facilities, a restaurant, a bar and lounge.
