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.

The staff is very helpful and friendly, the restaurant is great, the concierge gave us a great tip for a restaurant to go to and made last minute reservations, it is centrally located to many great spots, and is about a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile. Loved staying here, and I would love to do it again if I ever to back to Edinburgh.

Stunning hotel. Location is excellent in the heart of Edinburgh with great views over looking the castle. Room was very tasteful and well furnished with lots of amenities. Particular favourite was the low lit bar in the evening for pre-dinner drinks. The stay was for a birthday and the staff were so warm and friendly. Every single person made a big effort with guests right from check in to breakfast service.

It's not very often you walk into a hotel room and actually experience your jaw dropping but that is exactly what happened when we walked into room 306 at The Caledonian. To begin with, the room is massive and gorgeously furnished. Looking out the window we were greeted by a castle-front view of Edinburgh Castle. It was front and center and directly across the road from us and it literally took my breath away. I've stayed in some rooms with some beautiful views all around the world but I've never stayed in a room where I could see an actual massive castle from my bed. The bathroom was similarly stunning. The huge tub was perfection after a day of climbing Edinburgh's legendary hills. The floor was even heated! The in-room coffee was lovely, and the chocolate carving of the hotel that was on our table was the pièce de résistance. Of course, the service throughout the hotel was top notch. The valets, the front desk staff (shout out to Amy), the restaurant staff, all of them were excellent. The evening cocktails were divine and the breakfast was delicious. I cannot wait to visit Edinburgh again so I can stay at The Caledonian (I'm afraid I might be spoiled and need room 306 again next time, though!)

Having stayed in this hotel several times now, I can safely say it's excellent. The staff are always extremely friendly, the food is great, the facilities are excellent, and should you have a cocktail, they are excellent as well. They are currently doing renovations to the main lifts, and one of the bar areas, but there is still a lift, and bar and restaurant which has lovely live music on our visit.
