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.

Caledonia Hotel Highlights
My husband and I just recently stayed at the Caledonia for three nights in a king room with castle view, which was just spectacular. The room was very spacious with walk in closet and a nice size bathroom. The Hotel is centrally located making it easy to walk to many areas and attractions. High marks for best hair dryer and concierge team . What really stood out (as a foodie) is their knowledge and expertise. They were up on the newest restaurants and weren't just sending everyone to the same old tourist restaurants. Linda in particular was so enthusiastic and excited, not only did she make recommendations, but asked for feedback as well . Another young concierge, whose name escapes me, was also very helpful, recommending a great whiskey and cigar bar on Saint James Street. They all truly went above and beyond.

Celebratory family dinner!
We have just celebrated the most wonderful evening at the Caledonian in The Court to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday. The staff who looked after our table made us all feel so comfortable and welcome. We were waited on by Lucy, Tegan, Rebecca and Lukacz. They were wonderful and made our evening so special and memorable. Thank you so much!

Not to miss
Recently visited the hotel for a friend’s celebration. From the beginning to the end everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Caley bar is an amazing location and has so many drinks! Special shoutout to Asha and lukasz who really left a mark. Will be back!

Very bad experience so far
Very bad so far. I was here at 10 am, and run wasn’t ready but they said they will work in it soon. I came back at 1 pm and the grind desk clerk spoke to the supervisor and said they will rush and she will do final check. Now 2:45 ABs still not done. Very poor customer service and the front desk clerk is now being rude as hell. I know check in is 3pm but we were told rim was being done at 1pm, what bullcrap. No respect
