If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Edinburgh
From grand Georgian townhouses in the New Town to cozy guesthouses tucked into the Old Town's winding closes, Places to Stay in Edinburgh offer a blend of historic charm and modern comforts to suit every budget and mood. For festival season book early and consider staying near the Royal Mile for atmosphere, the West End for boutique hotels, or Leith for waterfront apartments and lively dining; look for rooms with city views or well-equipped kitchens if you prefer longer stays. Whether you want a luxury hotel, a charming B&B, or a self-catering flat, prioritise location, transport links and local character to make the most of your Scottish stay.
