The Spotlight on MARKET STREET hotel

Stylish Rooftop Vibes in the Heart of Edinburgh

Modern, boutique, and distinctly local, the MARKET STREET hotel blends contemporary Scottish design with an unbeatable central location. Just steps from the Royal Mile and within walking distance of top attractions like Edinburgh Castle and The Real Mary King's Close, this hotel offers a chic city base with a creative edge. With a standout rooftop lounge and carefully curated interiors featuring local artwork, it’s a stay that feels both upscale and uniquely Edinburgh.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans are drawn to MARKET STREET hotel for its central location—you’re an easy stroll or short tram ride from many of Edinburgh’s iconic venues. After a late night out, the 24-hour front desk and cozy, soundproofed rooms mean your post-show wind-down is stress-free. With Chromecast and Apple TV in every room, you can keep the music going or chill with a movie. The Nor' Loft rooftop bar is a perfect pre- or post-gig hangout with skyline views.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for stylish shared experiences in the heart of the action
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig with a rooftop cocktail to match
  • Couples turning a concert night into a romantic weekend away
  • Fans needing a quieter recovery spot after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking boutique luxury without the five-star price tag

Food and Drink Options

The rooftop Nor' Loft lounge serves breakfast, small plates, and drinks with sweeping city views—ideal for a light bite before a show or a nightcap after. While room service isn't 24/7, the central location means you’re surrounded by walkable eateries serving everything from late-night bites to hearty brunches for the morning after. Breakfast is available at the hotel, and it’s flexible enough to fit your sleep-in schedule.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music onsite, the rooftop bar is a stylish spot for cocktails with a view. Plus, you’re minutes from some of Edinburgh’s best pubs, craft beer spots, lounges, and even underground speakeasies. From intimate acoustic sets to big-name gigs, you’re always close to the action.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, calling it “perfect for exploring the city and catching a show.” The rooftop lounge gets high marks for its atmosphere and views, while the rooms are praised for being modern, quiet, and well-equipped. Travelers love the local touches—like the Scottish fabrics and artwork—which make the space feel special.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that the rooms can be on the smaller side, especially if you’re traveling with lots of gear. Also, while the rooftop bar is a highlight, it can get busy, so it’s best to book ahead if you want a prime sunset seat.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Edinburgh and want style, comfort, and walkability all in one, MARKET STREET hotel hits all the right notes.

Comfortable rooms

Liked: Comfortable bed and sliding wooden window shutter keeping out light pollution.
Disliked: Being treated like a leper for travelling with my 17 year old. I was offered a glass of champagne on arrival, great but when I asked.if my son could have a soft drink they were dismissive and said there were drinks in the room even though the Reception is next to the bar area. Also in the restaurant we were told we could only sit at certain tables, we felt so uncomfortable we didn't bother eating there in the evening. We were also placed on the first floor room 103 which had no view except the train station wall over the road, not what I had expected as the views were stunning from the 7th floor Reception.
