Historic hotels in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is a place steeped rich in history and surrounded by stunning scenery. One of the most fascinating aspects of the city's tourism industry is its historic hotels. Some date back hundreds of years and still retain their ancient charms while offering modern amenities. These historic hotels serve as splendid reminders of Edinburgh's heritage and are often located nearby key historical and cultural sites.
The Balmoral Hotel is one such historic hotel located in the heart of Edinburgh. This prestigious hotel opened its doors in 1902 and has been offering luxury accommodations ever since. With views overlooking the Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town, the Balmoral combines traditional Scottish hospitality with superior service. It's not just the remarkable structure but history echoes in every hallway, which has seen a host of famous guests including royalty and celebrities.
Another incredible historic hotel in Edinburgh is the Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh - The Caledonian. Known locally as the "Caley", this hotel was originally built in 1903 as a part of the Edinburgh Princes Street Railway Station and has since transformed into one of the city's most significant hotels. It showcases Victorian architecture, luxurious rooms, and offers unobstructed views of the Edinburgh Castle. Its Peacock Alley is a historical gem, once the station concourse and ticket office, and now serving as a sophisticated lounge.
The Scotsman Hotel, a landmark on North Bridge, is housed in the 1905 Edwardian building that was once home to the Scotsman Newspaper. The hotel retains many stunning original features, including Italian marble staircase, decorative stained glass windows, and detailed cornices. Each room in the Scotsman Hotel is unique, looking over the bustling historic Old Town, and offering a charisma laden setting for guests.
