With no two rooms the same, the 36 junior suites and deluxe bedrooms blend modern luxury with the grandeur and grace of the original building. All bedrooms feature Elite™ Lily mattresses and the highest quality duvets, pillows and bed linen to ensure the best possible night’s sleep. The luxury experience is completed with beautifully designed en-suite bathrooms, including fluffy towels and Isgha spa products. 

You will join us for breakfast in our elegant dining room, where the floor to ceiling windows look out to the hotel’s private garden. Enjoy a drink or refreshment in our Red Room Bar where we offer an honesty bar, self-service daily, between the hours of midday and 01:00am. Alternatively, our Scholar Restaurant and Bar lounge are situated in The Scholar Hotel next door, offering an informal evening a la carte service, with a menu packed with the finest ingredients Scotland has to offer.

Located in the leafy Southside of Edinburgh, the hotel offers a peaceful and tranquil setting surrounded by mature gardens.  It’s just a stone’s throw from the sights, sounds and stories of captivating Edinburgh, which makes The Scott the perfect place to relax after exploring Scotland’s wonderful Capital City.
