The Spotlight on Hotel Indigo Edinburgh

Boutique Vibes in the Heart of Edinburgh

Modern, stylish, and full of local character, Hotel Indigo Edinburgh sits right in the heart of the city center—just 656 feet from the Edinburgh Playhouse Theater and a short walk from Princes Street and St Andrew’s Square. With design-forward rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a warm Scottish welcome, this hotel blends comfort with convenience for music fans hitting the town.

Inside, you’ll find sleek, contemporary rooms equipped with a media hub, rainfall showers, and integrated speakers—perfect for chilling out with your favorite playlist after a big night out. Plus, there's a fitness center and free WiFi to keep you connected and energized.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location. With the Edinburgh Playhouse practically around the corner and other major venues within walking distance, you can skip the taxi queues and stroll back after the encore. Rooms are well-soundproofed, so once you're in for the night, the city’s buzz stays outside. The 12:00 pm checkout gives you time to sleep in, and the helpful staff are happy to assist with transport info or late-night snack recommendations.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central base close to the action
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig at Edinburgh Playhouse
  • Couples turning a concert into a romantic city break
  • Fans wanting peace and quiet after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want boutique quality

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s Turquoise Thistle restaurant serves up a solid breakfast spread—including cooked-to-order dishes made with local produce—ideal after a late night. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the on-site bar offers a curated selection of Scotch whiskies, craft beers, and soft drinks. Plenty of restaurants and pubs are within easy walking distance if you're heading out before or after a show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're in one of the UK’s most vibrant cultural cities. Bars, clubs, and lounges are all steps away, and the hotel bar is a chill spot to unwind with a dram or two. Whether you're pre-gaming before a show or capping off the night, you won’t be short on options.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, calling it unbeatable for seeing shows and exploring Edinburgh. The rooms are often described as stylish and comfortable, with special shout-outs to the rainfall showers and plush beds. Travelers also appreciate the friendly staff and thoughtful touches like Aveda toiletries and in-room media hubs.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention the rooms can be on the smaller side—cozy for couples, but a bit tight for those with lots of luggage. Parking isn’t on-site, so if you’re driving, be sure to plan ahead. Otherwise, it’s smooth sailing.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, centrally located base with character and comfort, Hotel Indigo Edinburgh hits the high notes for concert-goers.

Would stay here again

Liked: Breakfasts were great. Ample buffet plus a variety of cooked options. The hotel location is great, with an Edinburgh Tram stop right outside. This made transportation to and from the airport very easy. Walking distance from all of the sights, many restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and also many with a 15 minute walk. This particular Hotel Indigo location is also much quieter (less automobile traffic and foot traffic) than the sister location on Prince's Street.
Disliked: The room could use some sprucing up. A few electrical items were not working- heated towel bar, lighted mirror, and some electrical outlets. The fridge was also not cold enough to safely store food. The staff did try to fix these issues, but only the lighted mirror was able to be fixed. We weren't overly bothered by these things, but thought the staff should know.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Liked: Spent four nights at the hotel, had a very pleasant stay! The room was impressive, even with some signs of wear and tear here and there. It was very clean, spacious and had a super-comfortable bed - that was firm enough, and not soft. Very nice to have a bathroom with both bath-tub and a separate shower - truly great! As I was unfortunately a bit struck by a cold and felt a little under the weather on my trip, the comfortable room was very nice. The hotel has a very unique boutique charm, with friendly and welcoming staff. The breakfast was very tasty and delicious - and a lot of choices for hot dishes. Felt like being at a restaurant every morning. The location was central and great for walking to sights - and for reaching buses and trains nearby. Also great coffee-shop (Triple-Tri) just outside on the street - as well as a Tesco grocery-shop and a mall around the block for necessities.
Disliked: Very easy to hear everything that happened in the hallway, people coming and going - as if the door was not closed. Apart from that and a missing toilet brush, everything was fine!
