The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

As a Hilton Gold member who has stayed across a good number of properties in the network, I can say without hesitation that this is one of the finest. The location is superb and the accommodation excellent, but what truly sets it apart is the staff. A special mention to Yannic Grawitter, our personal concierge. Knowing that my son had just graduated in computer science at St. Andrews, and that I work in AI and technology, Yannick left a welcome card in our room with a message written in hexadecimal. We sat and decoded it together with genuine delight, with a thoughtful bottle of bubbly to welcome us. It's amazing that someone would take the time to craft a personal message in code, which says everything about how attentively this team looks after its guests. That same care ran right through the stay, from the concierge team to the reception manager; every interaction was warm, professional and genuinely faultless. The breakfast deserves its own line: outstanding quality. If you're heading to Edinburgh, I couldn't recommend The Caledonian more highly. Thank you to Yannick and the whole team for making our stay so memorable. #Hilton #CurioCollection #Edinburgh #Hospitality #CustomerExperience

A truly exceptional stay at The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton. From the moment we arrived, the hotel felt luxurious without being pretentious. The building itself is stunning, full of character and history, while the interior blends classic elegance with modern comfort perfectly. The location is unbeatable, with incredible views of Edinburgh Castle and easy walking access to the city's main attractions, shops, bars and restaurants. is one of Edinburgh's landmark luxury hotels, known for its castle views, historic character, spa facilities and central Princes Street location.

Dined in the Court. Served by Tahlia, Lucy, and Steffie. Excellent service, girls were very knowledgeable of the menu and the wine list. Competent, courteous, smiling, and attentive. Especially enjoyed the surprise before dessert. Well done to all. Also Stefan in the bar provided a marvellous array of malt whisky. A very pleasant evening. Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏

We arrived to the hotel just after 1pm and our room was ready at 2pm. We booked the King Premier Castle View Room direct with the hotel as we are Hilton Honours members (Amy was so helpful as I was quite specific about my requirements) We needed a very spacious light and bright room with large aspect windows that opened and the room was just that. The view of the Castle was great and of course it was right on the front so do expect some noise from the streets below. I would highly recommend ear plugs to sleep. I would also recommend bringing your own robe as the ones in the room although were XL were tiny and I’m only a size 12 ! & they were tatty which I most certainly didn’t expect from a 5 star hotel. The next morning we headed down for our breakfast which was included in our stay. Most of the hot food was just say lukewarm which we did comment on. Surely they have a better set up than this ?! I wasn’t impressed. However, they did manage to book us a taxi to an event we asked them to and we thank Matt for being so helpful with that. Was it worth the £520 per night. Not really. Would we stay again. Probably not.

My wife and I visited the Caley bar and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Special shout out to Magnus, who was our server. his service was impeccable, the order was delivered to perfection, and his attitude is one of the most professional and humorous servers we have ever had! I 100% recommend the Caledonia Hotel and the Caley bar!
