Each of the hotel's guest rooms is distinctive in its grandeur and design with elegant features including curved corner bay windows, marble bathrooms, and exquisite views of the city.

Reviews for The Scotsman Hotel
Great Hotel
This is a great hotel with great staff. It is in the city center, so there is street noise throughout the night. We would definitely stay here again.

The best place to stay in Edinburgh!
What a fantastic weekend! Our visit to the Scotsman was such a wonderful experience, I can’t thank Kirsty the Assistant Manager for her hospitality and kindness. She and her team ensured we had a lovely weekend and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful hotel, the rooms were delightful and cleaned every day. I will definitely visit the Scotsman again when I next visit Edinburgh, it is located just off of the Royal Mile and couldn’t be better placed. Thank you so much again Kirsty it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and stay in your beautiful hotel.

Scotsman lunch
Amelia helped settle out group of 12 in the side room/bar and served us the most fabulous lunch - she also gave us great ideas on how to spend our time in Edinburgh.

Grand Cafe is great!
We went to the Grand Cafe, beautiful spot. We haven't been before but we met Dulcie outside and she was so lovely that we ended up going in for a drink! I would highly recommend.
