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.

We visited this beautiful hotel for Sunday lunch, and what a treat! We were seated in the courtyard restaurant where we were serenaded with the most exquisite harpist solo as we sipped on amazing cocktails expertly prepared for us by Natasha. Our food was amazing and a special mention to Lukasz as head of house who made us feel like his special guests - he is so professional, and to Jennifer who served our table with such grace and was such a pleasure to talk to. Did we mention the price was so reasonable! This is a real must for your trip to Edinburgh. We would highly recommend this hotel for exceptional service. 5 stars… no question.

Beautiful hotel great location, no complaints except one……..the gym is one of the better gyms that I’ve seen in most hotels but it’s lacking one crucial machine,….. A leg extension/hamstring machine. Get this one piece of gear and your gym will be top notch.

Had a superb stay with my family - everyone was very friendly and helpful. Definitely enjoyed my conversations with Joseph, who was a wonderful gentleman with us. Will come again!

My husband and I were firstly so taken aback by the lovely welcome from the Concierge on arrival and on entering the hotel to Joseph who checked us in as he was so caring and professional and we had a lovely conversation.We were there to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary and we will have lovely memories to last forever. We were in the most fantastic room facing the Castle which was immaculate and so comfortable.What can we say about the afternoon tea and the meal we had at night apart from presentation and taste was second to none and the staff could not have done anymore for us truly exceptional. Thank you and we hope to return again in the future.

This is one of those hotel stays that will leave a fond memory for life. While the property is indeed stunning - from the hotel foyer, to the dining room, bar, bedroom and spa it would be nothing without their exceptional staff. Without exception the staff were absolutely incredible. So kind, so attentive (without over doing it!) so knowledgeable. It was an absolute joy. I was traveling for a couple of days on my own and then my daughter was joining me. As a solo traveller, I couldn't have felt more comfortable and more safe. I acknowledged how the staff even sat me in the dining area and then at breakfast. They made sure to sit me in the most appropriate space for someone on their own. I was very grateful for that. The hotel itself is spotless. The rooms are perfectly laid out with gorgeous amenities. The food was beautiful. And the spa area was a perfect way to both start and finish my days. While each staff member deserves a mention unfortunately I didn't get all their names! I would like to make a special mention about Yannic and Catherine who were both front of house. They were so generous with their time and patience and were the type of people who you want to have welcoming you and then there to wish you a fond farewell. Thank you again to all the team for a wonderful stay
