Our guest rooms take their colour palette from 19th-century Scottish landscape paintings: from highland glens to forest ferns and mountain heathers. Cool in tone but materially rich, the rooms are comfortable and nod to the best of Scotland’s heritage.
The hotel is spread across five original Georgian townhouses, with room types ranging from Classic Rooms and Premium Rooms through to Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites, and our two signature suites. Every room draws its colour palette from 19th-century Scottish landscape paintings, with rich tweeds, warm woods, and luxurious linens throughout.
We offer Classic, Cosy, and Premium Rooms for those seeking elegant comfort. Our suite range includes Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites with separate living areas, and two signature suites, The Ferrier Suite and The Somerville Suite. All suites include access to Club InterContinental, our excluive lounge with added amenities.
Every room takes its palette from Scotland's 19th-century landscape painters: the deep greens of highland glens, golden-brown moorland grasses, and soft mountain greys. Rich tweeds, warm woods, and luxurious linens bring that landscape indoors. It is Scotland's natural character translated into a contemporary, restful setting.
The Ferrier Suite is our most prestigious room, located in the original townhouse at 25 George Street, once home to the Ferrier family in the late 1700s. This suite features a king bed, stunning views, elegant Georgian decor, a complimentary minibar, and exclusive Club InterContinental access. It is a tribute to the remarkable history of Edinburgh's New Town.
The Somerville Suite is named in honour of Mary Somerville, the Edinburgh-born scientist and visionary thinker for whom the word 'scientist' was coined. When you stay in this two-bedroom suite, you will discover views over George Street, roll-top baths, walk-in showers, Bose speakers, and a complimentary minibar. It is our finest suite for those staying longer or celebrating something special.
Every room includes complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a flat-screen smart TV, tea and fresh filtered coffee, still and sparkling water, Byredo luxury toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, a laptop safe, a hairdryer, and daily housekeeping. Suite guests also receive a complimentary minibar, fresh flowers, a Nespresso machine, and exclusive access to Club InterContinental.
