Kimpton Charlotte Square

The concierges and staff at this hotel went above and beyond in making sure our stay here was outstanding! The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. The location was perfectly situated to visit all of the major sights.

What an amazing hotel! The staff is fantastic, and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy. The rooms are big and beautiful, it has the Kimpton quirkiness we love along with the daily happy hour. The breakfast is very nice. We LOVED the location. It was quiet and yet tons of restaurants and shops and a nice walk to the Royal Mile. We didnt avail ourselves of the gym or pool but they looked fantastic. I would 100% stay here and again!

What an absolutely beautiful experience at the Kimpton! This hotel offers exceptional customer service. Every single person I encountered was kind, courteous, and attentive. Special shout out to Dean and Raghda in Guest Relations. I was upgraded to a room with a view of Edinburgh Castle, and with it being my first time in Scotland, it made it extra special. We loved the daily happy hour! After a long day of exploring, it really allowed us to wind down at the bar and relax. There was also free popcorn to go along with it! The room was decorated beautifully! Snacks and complimentary water. Beds were extremely comfortable as well. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my stay extra special by also sitting with me, and giving me recommendations for where to go for a great Saturday night (we loved the speakeasy - The Blind Pig!) The location of the hotel is also very quiet, and off the busy street, but super close to everywhere. We walked to all of the sites nearby, and truly enjoyed our weekend stay!

Check in process was smooth and received an appropriate room upgrade (The room was very lovely, although as a Diamond member the hotel could have upgraded to an available suite I was almost glad they didn't since the room on the special side of the hotel was better). In some of the higher rooms, the Kimpton includes the mini bar so that was terrific for convenience if you prefer not to go to the grocery store yourself. Breakfast was great and you can order al la carte if you wish. Baba restaurant I thought was really good for the location and offered good value given it's right at the hotel and the food was lovely. Kimpton also has a social hour from 5pm to 6pm that I only found out about on the last day but it's good for unlimited drinks and you simply pay for food ordered. Unfortunately was woken up at 12am due to a radiator noise on the last day but the hotel was able to resolve it by moving to another room after being unable to fix the radiator for a little while. Would have loved to stay in this room longer but was on a road trip out to Invernochy castle afterwards.

My wife and I recently spent two days at the Kimpton in Edinburgh, and it was an absolutely delightful and memorable stay for both of us. The hotel itself is quiet, gorgeous, and extremely comfortable, all while being centrally located in the city. It’s easily walkable to the Royal Mile for history buffs, countless pubs and restaurants for food lovers, and charming local neighborhoods for those hoping to soak in the more quaint aspects of Edinburgh. The hotel is also just a five-minute walk from the tram, making it incredibly convenient for arrivals from the airport or anyone looking to explore other parts of the city. The hotel staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Check-in was a seamless and quick process, including a brief but helpful tour of the property. When we realized we had forgotten our outlet adapters, the staff kindly delivered a couple to our room — along with a small box of delicious chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier, which was such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast at the Kimpton is absolutely not to be missed. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, from the bright, sweet juices to the bold and comforting haggis. We also dined at BABA, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, where we split several small plates. The meal was outstanding — we especially recommend the cauliflower shawarma and buffalo mozzarella, both of which were unforgettable. In short, the Kimpton offered a perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and thoughtful service, making our visit to Edinburgh even more special. We would absolutely stay here again.
