The Spotlight on Edinburgh Holyrood Hotel

Elegant Comfort Steps from Edinburgh’s Historic Heart

Modern yet classic, the Edinburgh Holyrood Hotel blends upscale comfort with historic charm, just a stone’s throw from Holyrood Park and a short walk to many of Edinburgh’s most iconic music venues and landmarks. With spacious rooms, a full-service spa, and an award-winning restaurant, this four-star hotel offers a relaxing retreat in the heart of the city—ideal for concert-goers who want to experience the buzz without compromising on comfort.

Each room includes a marble bathroom, satellite TV, tea and coffee facilities, and complimentary mineral water. The hotel’s Health and Wellbeing Club features a gym, sauna, and indoor pool, perfect for unwinding after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and the Edinburgh Holyrood Hotel delivers—just a 15-minute stroll from bustling Princes Street and close to several of the city’s most popular live music venues. After the encore, return to a peaceful setting near Holyrood Park, away from the late-night noise of city center bars. Flexible check-in from 15:00 and a generous check-out time of 12:00 mean you won’t feel rushed the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, stylish base
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see gig
  • Couples making a weekend of music and sightseeing
  • Fans who value a restful night after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers seeking value without sacrificing quality

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Surf & Turf Restaurant serves locally sourced meat and fish dishes in a relaxed and elegant setting. While there’s no official late-night dining, the central location means you’re never far from pubs and eateries open late. Breakfast is available after a long night, and in-room tea and coffee make early mornings easier.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself favors tranquility over noise, you’ll find plenty of nightlife nearby—from cozy Scottish pubs to modern cocktail lounges. Many of Edinburgh’s most popular live music spots and bars are within walking distance or a quick taxi ride away.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spacious rooms, spotless bathrooms, and excellent location. Many highlight the professional, friendly staff and the restful atmosphere after a busy day (or night) in the city. The spa and pool are often mentioned as unexpected perks for a city-center hotel.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the hotel is close to action, it’s not right in the center—something to keep in mind if you prefer to be in the thick of things. A few travelers have mentioned that the decor is more classic than trendy, which may not appeal to those looking for ultra-modern design.

The Bottom Line

With its central-yet-quiet location, spacious rooms, and wellness facilities, the Edinburgh Holyrood Hotel is a standout choice for concert-goers wanting the best of both energy and ease.

Good service! Pleasant Stay!!

Liked: Super convenient location, walking to major attractions and train station! Service and restaurant on site as good as you can expect in a Marriott Hotel!! Breakfast has lots of options!
Disliked: The room is a bit small and the one we stayed is on the ground floor, twin beds room all on the ground floor. I believe higher floor units will have a very good view.

Great hotel Ideal for the...

Liked: Quiet location right by Holyrood Palace and not a long walk from the Castle. We had a junior suite that was massive and well equipped. The club lounge was peaceful and the staff there were amazing as were the restaurant staff.
Disliked: Housekeeping was a bit off and didn't wipe down tables or replenish coffee, but it could be due to 100% occupancy given the Fringe and Tattoo being on

Apart from the price, really...

Liked: The hotel was good, clean, easy to find and in a great location.The staff were efficient, friendly and very helpful.Breakfast was very good with lots of choice available.
Disliked: The price! Everything else was very good and I understand that Edinburgh is always busy at this time of year due to the festival. We were there for the concert at Murrayfield. However, in my mind, there will never be a time when a basic hotel room is worth £435 for 1 night - even if there's nothing else available within reasonable distance of the city centre.
