Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on site, Leonardo Edinburgh City features a bar for post-show drinks and offers room service for late-night cravings. The area is packed with walkable eateries—from quick bites to sit-down dinners. And yes, breakfast is available to help you recover after a night on your feet.

Edinburgh’s buzzing nightlife is right outside your door. Whether you're after intimate pubs with live folk music or cocktail bars and clubs, you’ll find plenty within walking distance. The hotel bar is a great spot for a nightcap if you’re keeping it low-key.

Excellent central location, comfortable, convenient...

Liked: The room on the ground floor was just what I wanted to avoid a lot of walking in the hotel. The hotel's central location was excellent for getting to the Book Festival and several shows e.g. at the Lyceum. There was a big choice for continental breakfast. The staff were very helpful getting me taxis when I needed them.
Disliked: I would have liked decaffeinated coffee and to have the croissants heated.
