The Spotlight on Nira Caledonia

Elegant Stay Near the Edinburgh Music Scene


Set in a grand Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s picturesque New Town, Nira Caledonia blends classic architecture with boutique luxury. Just a short walk from the buzz of Princes Street and some of the city’s best music venues, this stylish hotel offers a peaceful escape after a night out. Expect plush interiors, goose feather beds, and rooms with spa baths or private garden views for a truly indulgent stay.

Why Concert-goers love it


Concert-goers love Nira Caledonia for its quiet location among cobbled streets—close enough to the action, yet far enough to unwind. You can walk to many central venues or grab late-night transport options nearby. With spa baths in some rooms and breakfast-in-bed available the next morning, it's a great spot to recover in style.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking for a classy base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream gig
  • Couples on a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quiet retreat post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options


While the restaurant and bar are currently reopening (set to impress with fresh Scottish ingredients), guests can still enjoy breakfast served in-room—perfect if you stayed out late. Local eateries and cafés are just a short stroll away, offering plenty of post-concert dining choices. The bar will feature over 25 Scotch whiskies, ideal for a nightcap.

Nightlife Options


Though the hotel itself is more about relaxed luxury than late-night parties, you're within easy reach of Edinburgh’s bars, lounges, and live music pubs. When the hotel bar reopens, expect a cozy spot to sip Scottish whiskies and relive the night’s setlist.

What People Say


Guests consistently rave about the charming period features, incredibly comfy beds, and the helpful, friendly staff. Many mention the peaceful vibe and how well it works as a base for exploring the city or attending events.

Areas for Improvement


Some reviewers note that the hotel’s historic structure means no elevator/lift, so be prepared for stairs. Additionally, the restaurant and bar reopening has been awaited, but nearby options fill the gap nicely.

The Bottom Line


If you're heading to a concert in Edinburgh and want a stylish, serene place to recharge, Nira Caledonia hits all the right notes.

Small luxury hotel

Liked: The hotel is in a perfect location. Walkable to all the main sites yet in a very calm neighborhood. Would definitely come back to stay here. The building is beautiful.
Disliked: There is no elevator which they had mentioned in advance. Walking up two flights of stairs that are crooked can be tricky but it was manageable. The bathtub with all its gadgets was aged and not inviting. Simple bathtubs would make it look cleaner.

A comfortable stay in very...

Liked: We new this would be a bit squeezy as we chose the 'Wee Double' but despite the small size, the room was very comfortable. We did not know at the time of booking that it was a heritage listed building and they have done a lovely job with it. Our room was on the top floor and no elevator but never fear. The staff are awesome, carrying our bags up and down the stairs. The location was good, an easy walk to Princes St.
Disliked: A tad expensive but then again it was summer and festival time

Nice historical hotel, needs a...

Liked: Good location, nicely decorated and the staff was friendly and accommodating.
Disliked: No A/C, which would be more useful taking the moisture out of the air than anything else. The room was very damp, curtains were wet due to the high humidity in the room. Also, that tub/shower is a nightmare to get in and out of.
