The Spotlight on Malmaison Edinburgh City

Stylish Urban Stay in Edinburgh’s Cultural Heart

Modern and effortlessly cool, Malmaison Edinburgh City sits right in the center of the action on St Andrew Square. With bold interiors, a boutique vibe, and just a 7-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station, it’s a seamless stay for anyone catching a show in the city. This 4-star hotel pairs sleek design with comfort, offering air-conditioned rooms, a buzzing bar, and round-the-clock service.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from key music venues like Edinburgh Playhouse and the Royal Mile, this hotel offers an unbeatable location. Whether you’re heading to a packed arena show or an intimate acoustic set, you’re never far away. The 24-hour front desk and room service mean late-night returns are no problem, and the soundproofed rooms give you that sweet post-gig silence you’ll thank them for.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay central and stylish
  • Solo travelers ticking a dream concert off their bucket list
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking a quieter, more upscale place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting luxury without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

Malmaison’s on-site restaurant serves up bold flavors and is perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-concert bite. The bar stays open late, with a curated cocktail list and relaxed atmosphere. While there’s no 24-hour room service menu, the team is available around the clock to help with in-room dining options. And yes, you can sleep in—breakfast is available after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You're in one of Edinburgh’s liveliest squares, so bars, pubs, and lounges are just steps away. The hotel bar itself is a solid spot to kick off the night or wind down with a craft gin. While there’s no live music on-site, you’re within walking distance of the city’s top nightlife and live performance venues.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish decor, super-comfy beds, and fantastic location. Many highlight the friendly staff and appreciate the quiet rooms despite the central setting. It's often described as a hidden gem that balances boutique charm with urban convenience.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have parking, so those driving in may need to plan ahead. Some reviewers mention the rooms can feel a bit compact, but most agree the design and amenities make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting boutique comfort, quick venue access, and late-night flexibility, Malmaison Edinburgh City hits all the right notes.

Good staff check-in and check-out,...

Liked: Staff on front desk were excellent, efficient and helpful. The location cannot be topped.
Disliked: A toenail found on the bedroom floor by my bed on the first night. It is so dark I wonder if they feel they can get away with not hoovering the floor.
