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.
