Sitting right across from Queen Street Gardens, this mustard-hued home exudes charm and style, from its colourful walls to its dark wood floors and sleek, modern furnishings. Though it’s housed in a wonderfully preserved Georgian townhouse, this chic studio apartment is bang up to date in its decor and fittings, providing an endlessly relaxing stay in Edinburgh’s New Town. We love how the space has cleverly been used here, with a kitchenette concealed within a feature cabinet and industrial-style racks for clothes storage. You’ll have no trouble finding inspiration while you work, with a wooden window-side desk ready to cater to your business needs. Factor in a beautiful bed boasting luxury bedding and a rainfall shower to give you an invigorating start to the day and you've got everything you need for a comfortable city break. Outside of your home, Princes Street’s shops are a six-minute walk away, Edinburgh Castle is a twelve-minute stroll and Calton Hill with its picturesque vistas is just a fourteen-minute walk 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...
