Located in Edinburgh's New Town, this contemporary studio space puts you in the heart of the city, meaning you'll be just a stone's throw away from the sought-after eating, drinking and shopping opportunities. Sumptuous yet modern designs in a deep red and purple colour palette, velvet textures, and stylish finishing touches invite guests to enjoy peace and quiet between soaking up the city. With space to whip up your own breakfasts and tuck into some local delicacies or a spot of afternoon tea - staying here gives you the choice of eating in or heading out to explore all that's on offer in the fabulous city of Edinburgh. When you're not indulging in good food and drink, the city's historical sights, including Edinburgh Castle and Scottish National Portrait Gallery, can be found only a twelve-minute walk away.

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...
