Georgian elegance meets modern comforts in this beautiful blush-coloured studio apartment. With its tall corniced ceilings, huge sash windows and dark wood floors, there’s a definite touch of historic sophistication here. An ornamental fireplace creates a debonair setting in the living room, where a chic desk space invites you to catch up on work in style. The bedroom area is pretty as a picture with its window-side seat, perfect for starting off relaxing mornings over coffee and a good book. 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).

About New Town

Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
