About the Hotel

Important - The Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – The Caledonian has recently been renamed to The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton. The Caledonian Edinburgh is currently undergoing renovation expected to be completed early 2025. The transformation of the hotel is already well underway and is taking place over a phased approach to ensure we can continue to operate as business as usual.

The Caledonian Edinburgh is one of Edinburgh's most significant and recognizable landmarks. Standing proudly at the west end of Princes Street, the heart of the capital, its reputation for style and excellence has attracted generations of locals, international visitors and notable personalities for over one hundred years. Built in 1903 and formerly part of the grand Caledonian Railway, the hotel is full of memories, including Peacock Alley which represents the historic heart, once the station concourse and ticket office. Surround yourself with heritage and over 100 years of hospitality, and become part of our story.

Reviews for The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

Absolutely delightful

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

My wife and I qualified for a trip with our company and we had the amazing opportunity to stay at the Caledonian. The staff, restaurant and everything was amazing. Breakfast daily was excellent. The haggis and especially the honeycomb at the waffle/pancake station was top notch. And the servers were great. I particularly was impressed with the concierge desk. They were knowledgeable, helpful, super friendly and just overall delightful. Linda helped me to consider a visit to the shore at Queensferry and also helped me to come up with a plan to visit the MacNab clan’s ancestral home of Killin on a future visit. Jay was also delightful. He helped me find some shops and restaurants that we really enhanced our time walking the Royal Mile. Finally, Stuart, the head concierge… his team’s speaks to his own presence. He is a wonderful representative of Scotland and of the Caley. I just loved the engagement we shared. He recommended where I could complete my kilt rental for our closing dinner event. I could not be happier with the overall experience we had at this lovely location in an incredible setting.

Amazing hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

We loved this hotel. The staff were all exceptional, especially the staff in the restaurant. The location at the top of The Royal Mile could not have been better. Our upgraded room (due to Hilton status) was very large and had a view of the castle. Highly recommend!

A great time in Edinburgh!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

When looking at places to stay in Edinburgh it quickly became apparent you would need to stay with other people, after looking around a jump in price meant a stay at a 5 star hotel! The staff (Amy,Margaret and a wonderful gentleman at the opposite counter were there to help me and made sure my room was available, the staff were amazing and the hotel showed it, there was no running, screaming, shouting etc, it was so peaceful and inviting, the walls literally covered in history, remnants of its past with the railway, stainglass windows in the stairwells, amazing decor, helpful staff at the doors were very knowledgeable on where to find pharmacies and important stores for supplies, the room itself was amazing, the perfect temperature and espresso machine, a fridge, hairdryer, bathtub,shower, beauty lamp/ mirror and seating area, 2 large beds, every amenity you could ever need, including menus, helpful numbers. This place is luxurious and worth every penny, I and Bryan were made to feel at home in the time we were there, if you feel you are close to staying, make the decision to do so, 5 minutes from the park, 30 minutes from the castle (it's uphill but very close) as well as a whole variety of local points of interest, Thank you for the wonderful treatment I hope to return soon!

The Caledonian is such an incredible hotel. The staff was superb, particularly Ria Anne and Princess. Really really excellent service. The food is really amazing and the variety of the menu was a plus for me. I will certainly come back again.
