The Spotlight on Malmaison Edinburgh

Stylish Waterfront Hotel Just Minutes from Edinburgh’s Music Scene

Modern yet full of character, Malmaison Edinburgh is a boutique hotel located right on the scenic banks of the Forth in Leith. With its individually designed rooms, free parking, and a sleek bar and brasserie, it’s a favorite among concert-goers looking for a stylish stay just 10 minutes from Edinburgh city center.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re only a quick drive or cab ride away from major venues in Edinburgh, making it easy to catch your favorite band and be back in bed in no time. The hotel’s location in Leith means you’re a touch removed from the city’s late-night noise – perfect for a restful post-show wind-down. With free parking and a 3pm check-in, arriving for a late afternoon show is hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish base with space to chill
- Solo travelers hunting down a bucket-list gig
- Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
- Fans needing peace after a loud night out
- Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate free parking and local dining options

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Malmaison Brasserie serves up elevated British classics made with local ingredients – great for a pre-show dinner or late bite. The Mal Bar is perfect for cocktails before heading out, and the outdoor terrace is a lovely spot to recap your night. Breakfast is available the next morning, ideal after a late night out. While there’s no official 24/7 room service, the on-site restaurant hours are generous.

Nightlife Options

While not a party hotel, Malmaison offers a stylish bar that hosts occasional live music and a curated cocktail menu. For more action, you’re close to Leith’s buzzing bar scene or just a short ride from downtown clubs and lounges in Edinburgh.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unique room decor, peaceful waterfront setting, and friendly staff. Many mention how easy it is to get to venues and return without dealing with the city’s noise. The on-site bar and brasserie also earn top marks for quality and service.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel’s location, while scenic, is a bit removed from the city center – so plan for a short taxi or bus ride. A few rooms could benefit from minor updates, but overall, the charm and comfort shine through.

The Bottom Line

With its stylish waterfront setting and easy access to Edinburgh’s top concert venues, Malmaison Edinburgh is a classy, quiet spot to recharge after a night of live music.
