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.

Excellent stay at The Caledonian Edinburgh. The hotel has a real sense of character and presence, with a great combination of classic prestige and comfort in a fantastic location. It feels like one of those hotels that gives the stay a bit of weight rather than just being a place to sleep. What stood out most, however, was the level of service. A special thank you to Eren Joseph from reception and guest relations for the excellent care throughout the stay. He was professional, attentive, thoughtful and genuinely committed to making sure everything was handled properly. That kind of personal attention makes a real difference and leaves a lasting impression. The Caledonian is a hotel with strong atmosphere and quality, but service is what made this stay especially memorable. Eren Joseph deserves clear recognition for representing the hotel at a very high level. I would gladly stay here again.

We had the best experience and stay out of the three stops we had in Scotland here at the Caledonian. The staff was extremely hospitable. The room was pristine and very high class. The windows had extra layers to help with sound proofing, other than a siren it was quiet even though we had a streetside room on the first floor. The waiters in the bar and restaurant were all pleasant and helpful. My family enjoyed the place so much it was a challenge to get them out to explore the city. I utilized the gym one day and it was also very clean, had fresh towels and ample room for a few to use the space at the same time.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every member of the team delivered outstanding hospitality — Lucy, Evie, Leah, Danna (our host), and Lucas, who ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. A special thank you as well to the doorman for the warm and welcoming arrival, and to the reception team for their kindness and for accommodating us while we charged our phones. Every interaction felt respectful and genuinely thoughtful. I’ve always held this hotel in high regard, and this experience only reinforced that. I would gladly return and spend another £500+ on a day here without hesitation. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable experience.

Great hotel and magical city. My young daughter loved Edinburgh more than Paris. And her favorite part was the Caledonia.
