Overlooking one of Edinburgh's prettiest private garden squares, Kimpton Charlotte Square consists of seven interconnecting Georgian townhouses in the heart of the New Town. Our beautifully formed bedrooms and suites are inspired by the golden age of travel and a genuine sense of Scottish hospitality. Sitting proudly in the middle of the hotel is The Garden bar and restaurant, an oasis of calm in the centre of the city. Light and bright during the day for breakfast and lunch, transforming in to a fairy lit hideaway in the evening for cocktails and dinner. Sample our Twilight Tea, a unique take on the classic afternoon tea with a focus on savoury flavours from 12pm to 10pm every day. BABA restaurant is a sumptuous, relaxed journey to the Levant, featuring mezze, charcoal dishes and small plates with bold Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours perfect for sharing. Cocktails take on the adventurous flavours to continue the journey until late in the BABA bar.

Myself and my husband chose The Kimpton due to its location, elegance and great reviews. What we didnt expect was the high level of outstanding service from every member of staff we interacted with. We would especially like to thank Lacey, Mackinley and Cameron, but it would be remiss to not call out all the reception staff including the porters and Spa staff. An added suprise was the "Social event" in the Babar bar where free drinks were served daily between 5-6pm. This was a fabulous opportunity to meet others, learn more about whats on in Edinburgh and enjoy the Hotel's warm amd welcoming bar. We enjoyed multiple visits to the Gym and Spa, taking full advantage of the steam room and sauna. We were facinated by the acceptance of Dogs at The Kimpton of which there were many. Each one so well behaved and quiet you would be hard pushed to know they were there. Having access to a private garden opposite the Hotel was an especially thoughtful touch. Our room was sumptuous, spotless and quiet. Every detail carefully considered and well placed. We cannot wait to visit again and will definitely recommend to our friends.

Excellent hotel; very comfortable. Good bars and restaurants. Convenient central location. But above all the staff were warm, welcoming and attentive. A particular mention for Cameron on the front door who was unfailingly cheerful and helpful.

This property is simply amazing! Me and my girlfriend came from Portugal to visit for 6 nights. We stay in a beautiful room with view to the city Castle. The interiors are stylish yet warm, with a lively glass covered courtyard that acts as the social heart. It’s ideal for design lovers, couples, and city explorers who prioritize atmosphere and feeling at home (they are also pet friendly). The restaurant and the bar “BABA” are simply amazing, they deliver with excellence the greek cuisine and I have to highlight the readiness and sympathy of the staff. Everyone seems so happy to work here and you will feel it in your day-2-day interactions. A special thanks to Miguel from reception, Sophie from the restaurant and Maya (hope this is how it’s written) from the bar, I can’t remember the name of the gentleman who checked me in but we was great with a big warm welcome. Everyone else was also amazing. We were so happy here and will definetely comeback. Thank you!

Had a fantastic stay at The Kimpton Charlotte Square Staff in all aspects of service were some of the warmest and helpful I’ve encountered in any hotel stay My large dog Charlie was welcomed and looked after with water and dog bowls and even a bed (he was a bit big for it🤣) And very much enjoyed access to the garden with his ball every morning Breakfast was a delight in the beautiful Baba and the staff were so lovely Had an amazing massage in spa and enjoyed access to pool and sauna Had two fabulous meals at a Baba during my stay with a dog friendly table (I did email ahead ) And delightful evenings spent in the bar in many ways due to the lovely bar staff Many happy memories were made during our stay And look forward to returning on my next trip to Edinburgh
