Stay at a Five Star Hotel in Edinburgh City Centre
Guide to Edinburgh's 5 Star Hotels
Edinburgh has an incredible offering of luxury accommodation in the City Centre and beyond including hotels, serviced apartments and guest houses. In terms of luxury hotels, Edinburgh has 11 five-star hotels with average rates ranging from £155 to £295 ($265 to $500) per night. They vary in terms of style, location and facilities but they all fall primarily into the following categories:
Types of 5 Star Edinburgh Hotels
- Historic luxury hotels, famous city landmarks in their own right like the The Balmoral, The Caledonian or The Scotsman;
- Small, luxury boutique townhouse hotels like The Howard, Edinburgh Residence or Number 10;
- Modern, designer hotels like the new Missoni Hotel, The Glasshouse or the contemporary, if somewhat dated, Sheraton Grand;
- Unique, very luxurious and individual hotels, in a class of their own like The Prestonfield or the Witchery by the Castle where the experience of being a guest is the attraction itself.
These hotels are all either fairly central or within easy reach of Edinburgh City Centre attractions and shopping, St Andrew's Square Bus Station and Waverley Train Station. However:
- Only 4 of Edinburgh's 5-star hotels have ultra-central locations (The Balmoral, The Scotsman, Missoni Hotel and Witchery by the Castle);
- A few, like The Howard, Edinburgh Residence, Number 10 or The Prestonfield are located in more quiet residential areas, further away from the hustle and bustle of Princes Street and the Old Town.
