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
A beautiful hotel in Edinburgh city center
This is a classic hotel in central Edinburgh, very convenient to Edinburgh castle and the Royal Mile. Convenient to the airport bus with a drop off less than a half mile away, The Caledonian is also close to the city tram system. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and didn’t feel too stuffy for a premium level hotel. Front desk, door, and housekeeping staff were all professional and helpful. Hotel has a pool and hot tub which were nice to use after days of walking around Edinburgh. Bar seems fun but we didn’t partake. Less than a mile walk to the castle and Royal Mile. A bit of a splurge for us but this is a really nice hotel with a good city location.

Big Thank You To Dean (Front Door)
We were passing by the Caledonian Hotel and, on the off chance, asked whether it might be possible to have a look around. We were warmly welcomed by a most charming and impeccably dressed gentleman in traditional Scottish regalia at the front entrance, who introduced himself as Dean. Dean went out of his way to make us feel welcome, taking the time to show us the hotel's restaurants and sharing some fascinating history about the building. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine hospitality made our visit a memorable one. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Dean for his kindness and for taking the time to accommodate us. He is a wonderful ambassador for the hotel and a credit to your team.
