Luxury Hotels in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's luxury hotels offer first-class amenities, swanky facilities, gracious staff, and stylish retreats.

The Balmoral Hotel is the ultimate for luxury in the New Town. Dozens of celebrities have stayed here, including Britney Spears and J.K. Rowling, who is said to have penned the final novel of the Harry Potter series in one of the hotel's suites.

The Witchery, located right next to Edinburgh Castle on Royal Mile, offers romantic, sumptuous, theatrically decorated rooms with Gothic antiques and elaborate tapestries, wall to wall decadence and and roll-top baths big enough for two! Celebrity guests have included Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Simpsons cartoon creator Matt Groening, Danni Minogue and Jack Nicholson.

Voted by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the top 50 hottest hotels in the world, behind the façade of the 150 year old Lady Glenorchy church, you'll find the sleek and utterly modern Glasshouse. The Glasshouse hotel offers beautiful views of the city - what better way to view Firth of Forth or Calton Hill than within the comforts of your own room!

Built in 1687 as the grand baroque home of Edinburgh's Lord Provost, Prestonfield House Hotel is now one of Edinburgh's most luxurious five-star hotels with 23 stylish rooms and suites. Opulence, theatre and luxury are combined in James Thomson's quirky and stylish reworking of this A-listed historic century mansion where minimalism is banished and maximalism rules.

Quite possibly the prettiest boutique hotel in Edinburgh, Tigerlily is an award-winning, converted Georgian Townhouse in Edinburgh city centre. Guests experience an atmosphere of unabashed glamour and unparalleled luxury. This exclusive 4 star boutique hotel offers every comfort - like beds by the acre, sensuous fabrics and plasma screens.
