Situated in a prime city-center location on North Bridge, this spot is between the Old Town and New Town. It is just a short walk from the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and the shopping on Princes Street. Additionally, it is less than a 5-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and approximately a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh Airport.

The Scotsman Hotel is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic luxury hotels in the historic Scotsman Newspaper building, dating back to 1905. Overlooking Waverley Station and the city’s historic old town, the hotel perfectly blends Edwardian grandeur with contemporary style, offering elegant comfort and a distinctive character. With marble staircases, stained glass windows, and sweeping views over Carlton Hill and Princes Street Gardens, The Scotsman captures the timeless charm of Edinburgh while delivering refined Scottish hospitality.
