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
101% service!
The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every member of the team delivered outstanding hospitality — Lucy, Evie, Leah, Danna (our host), and Lucas, who ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. A special thank you as well to the doorman for the warm and welcoming arrival, and to the reception team for their kindness and for accommodating us while we charged our phones. Every interaction felt respectful and genuinely thoughtful. I’ve always held this hotel in high regard, and this experience only reinforced that. I would gladly return and spend another £500+ on a day here without hesitation. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable experience.

Excellent hotel
Great hotel and magical city. My young daughter loved Edinburgh more than Paris. And her favorite part was the Caledonia.

State of the art
Had a lovely stay at the Caledonian for my first time visiting Edinburgh. Lukasz, Damian, Lina and Daniel made the stay very memorable and special. The refurbished building looks incredible and the drinks selection is top class - excited to stay again soon.
