When your neighbour is Edinburgh Castle, you can be pretty certain that your home is in a prime spot in the city. Living right in the heart of the Old Town certainly has its perks, with Princes Street Gardens and the Grassmarket both less than ten minutes from your front door. But with such busy days on the horizon, you’ll also need somewhere to recline and relax.

This grand apartment is set on one of Edinburgh’s most esteemed addresses. Even the street name is soaked in culture and history – named after the Enlightenment poet, Allan Ramsay the Elder who built the first structure here in 1733. And as soon as you step inside, you can see how culture and creativity have transcended the centuries.

We love the opulent and elegant interiors, where a cream colour palette meets plush fabrics and faux furs. Of course there are still traditional features like four-poster beds, an iron fireplace, and sash windows with striking city skyline views, but there are some wonderful 21st-century additions. On chilly Scottish evenings, you’ll love padding along the underfloor heating of the bathroom on your way to fill up the tub. Don’t forget to take a tumbler of whisky in there while you soak, just for an extra layer of warmth.

Grab your own cosy nook right on the Royal Mile – Edinburgh's main artery, ending at the castle. Moments away, you'll find whisky bars serving over 200 different drams, fully kilted pipers, and – in August, anyway – the magical chaos of the Edinburgh Festival. This apartment offers brief respite from all that, kitted out with a flat-screen TV for binge-watching, a generous kitchen corner for preparing tipsy laird pudding and a squishy red leather sofa to eat it on. Downstairs is the famous World's End pub – grab a pint and people-watch for a while.

Just over a twenty-minute walk from the heart and soul of the Old Town – Edinburgh Castle – the New Town has quite a different vibe. You’ll find Georgian architecture nearly everywhere you turn, and historic tenement buildings lining the streets as you head towards Canonmills. While these stone structures might look similar from the outside, we can guarantee you'll find eclectic homes within. This flat is no exception. The owner is a local artist, whose creative interior design choices are evident throughout. You’ll find her charming, abstract artwork on display in various rooms, as well as brightly-coloured walls, quirky tablecloth prints, antique furniture, and unique lamps on ornate cabinets. Our favourite spot has to be the lounge – this yellow room is full of character and old-world charm. Light up the fire and gather everyone round for a board game on a rainy day in this sumptuous space. Or at dusk, it could equally serve as a plush pad for an impromptu whisky-tasting session. While you sip on single malts, have the host arrange for a private chef to come over and handle dinner. You are on holiday after all.

At the end of your jam-packed day, retreat to your homespun apartment for a relaxing evening with your loved ones. Get snug in the cosy living space as the appointed chef of your group whips up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen. After an evening of swapping anecdotes over dinner and drinks, sink into the comfortable beds and drift off into a deep sleep.

At the top of Calton Hill, you'll have some truly breathtaking views from this historical home. The National Gallery is next door and the rest of the city is a short walk away, easily making up for the lack of parking. It should be noted that the home's standout location does attract a number of tourists, so if you're looking for some peace and privacy it might not be for you. That said, the main bedroom enjoys an en-suite with a luxurious standalone bathtub, and there's outdoor seating to make the most of this stunning location.

The Stargazer's Retreat

Lift Access

There’s also a classic piano for evenings spent in the sociable dining room, gathered around a home-cooked feast with your own personal soundtrack and pretty views of the neighbourhood. The bedrooms are similarly styled, with lovely wall details and traditional fireplaces complemented by gold accents, antique mirrors and colourful carpets and throws. Get cosy and recharge before heading out into the picturesque heart of the city. You’ll be just a three-minute walk from the majestic Edinburgh Castle and five minutes from the historic Old Town.

We love the idea of dining below the trendy, low-hanging lampshade next to the charcoal feature wall. And this isn’t your only dining option – how about an alfresco meal on your own balcony? Then round off the evening with a stroll around the residents' garden. In the morning, savour a hearty bowl of porridge to prepare for a big day ahead.

After a luxurious soak under the metro-tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower, head out to explore your surroundings. You couldn’t be better placed to visit some of the city’s best sights, including Edinburgh Castle (a twelve-minute walk away), Princes Street (six minutes away) and Calton Hill for sunset vistas (a fourteen-minute stroll from your door).


Blush Hush

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Sometimes you spot a grand-looking, historic building and think the interior could never live up to the impressive facade. That couldn’t be further from the truth for this apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town. The Georgian frontage and original features – think marble fireplaces, high ceilings, and hardwood floors – have been tastefully augmented with rich carpets, and antique and handmade furniture. It’s no wonder this place won a Hilden Style Award. You’ll find modern comforts in the sleek, white kitchen, though the solid wood table and crystal whisky decanter add a bit of old-world charm. This light-flooded city pad is a fantastic base for your Edinburgh stay and if you can peel yourself away from the grand Chesterfield sofas, you’re a ten-minute stroll from George Street, twenty from Edinburgh Castle and just over fifteen from the Royal Mile.

From its feature pendant lighting to its large leather sofa and floor-to-ceiling windows, there’s an air of industrial sleekness to this home that makes it feel instantly welcoming. We love the Crittall–style doors that lead to the first bedroom with its brewery-inspired wall art and the living room's cleverly concealed kitchenette that will make meal-prep feel like a Narnia-esque experience. You’ll relish starting mornings, too, in the colourful tiled bathrooms, where rainfall showers provide the ultimate luxury wake-up. When you’re not chilling out in your stylish pad or catching up on work at the bedroom's desk space, go out and explore the local area. You’re just a ten-minute walk from Calton Hill, a thirteen-minute stroll from Edinburgh Castle and a seven-minute amble from the shop-lined Royal Mile.

You'll also have the added bonus of a communal garden, where you can enjoy a glass of Scotch in the sunshine. But what we love the most here is the location. Set in bustling New Town, you'll find shops, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Further afield, but still easily reached on foot, is picturesque Old Town, while Stockbridge and Dean Village are also within easy reach.

New Town Cool

Luxury Bedding

From one window you have an unrestricted view of Edinburgh Castle, the iconic fortress that brings inquisitive travellers to the capital. From another, the port district of Leith, and the beaches Edinburgh is not necessarily famous for, but definitely should be. Though it’s not just about the views – the living room's curves, vintage photography and statement armchairs ensure a stay in style. Breakfasting below the huge, arched window in the sunlight is another big plus. Heading out, the New Town is on your doorstep and with it, the buzz of a city you'll never want to leave.

The New Town Gem

The Royal Mile stretches from the hilly city centre, right down to the even larger hills of the Crags and Arthur’s Seat (Edinburgh’s very own extinct volcano). And just six minutes from the edge of this ancient parkland, this modern home is a rather delightful contrast. The interiors are very industrial, but you’ll still find little touches of luxury. We love the lighting fixtures in the lounge and bedrooms, a web of black cords and hanging bulbs which cast a soft glow. Matching this are black metal frames on the door, shower, and bed, as well as dining chairs in the living space. Overall, this flat has a warehouse vibe which feels minimalist yet cosy, ideal for coming home to after witnessing a city steeped in history. Wander uphill after your morning coffee and stop in for some brunch on the High Street, just seven minutes away. Keep on heading to the top of this iconic mile to reach Edinburgh Castle.

Serve up at the table in the sunny bay window with a view straight to the castle. After a tough hike up Arthur's Seat, freshen up using the Bulgari toiletries in the bathroom and sink into your sumptuous tufted bed. Just note it's about 90 steps to reach this apartment, so we suggest packing light.

We love the contrast between the dark wood floors, sage-coloured walls and blush pink armchairs, creating a soft and intimate setting for a relaxing stay.

The three bedrooms, meanwhile, have each been carefully curated with a sophisticated touch and boast similarly large windows that give way to New Town views. We’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s en-suite – a spa-like space with its rainfall shower and tempting tub, the latter providing the perfect end to a night with a glass of bubbly.

New Town Glory 

Monochrome style meets Edinburgh's history in this city centre apartment, nestled on one of the city's most famous streets; George Street. The flat pays tribute to city icons such as Sean Connery and Calton Hill with a coherent collection of black-and-white prints lining the living area's walls.

We love how the home has been carefully designed with space in mind, like the bespoke kitchenette, cleverly hidden within a cabinet, and the stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom creating a visual feature piece in their own right. After mornings enjoying breakfast at the window-side table and luxuriating under the rainfall shower, go out and explore your surroundings. You’ve got plenty of Edinburgh’s most iconic sights within easy walking distance, including Princes Street for great shopping (six minutes away), Edinburgh Castle for an afternoon of history (twelve minutes away) and Calton Hill for stunning sunset views over the city (fourteen minutes away). Factor in the countless bars and restaurants in your New Town neighbourhood and you’ve got ample entertainment to keep you going. 


New Town Fling

Located above bustling George Street, you'll find boutique shops, charming cafes and gorgeous Victorian architecture right on your doorstep. This area is a popular spot with locals, students and tourists alike, as there are plenty of excellent restaurants and trendy bars to while away the evenings in.

Back at home, this apartment marries modern living with timeless elegance. Curl up on chilly nights in front of the electric fire, rustle up a delicious meal in the sleek kitchen or lounge on the sofa with a glass of scotch and your favourite shows playing on the TV. This home is stylish, sophisticated and minimal, making it the perfect place to rest your feet after a day spent wandering down Edinburgh's cobbled streets.
