The Spotlight on Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh

Stylish Comfort Steps from the Royal Mile

Modern, upscale, and nestled right on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, the Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh blends contemporary comfort with classic charm. Whether you're heading to a sold-out gig or squeezing in some sightseeing between shows, this centrally located hotel puts you within walking distance of top venues, popular pubs, and iconic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle.

Expect sleek rooms with free Wi-Fi, spacious bathrooms, and a cozy work area—perfect for planning the night ahead or decompressing after the encore. The hotel also offers a full-service spa, heated indoor pool, and fitness suite for a little post-concert recovery. With Waverley station just five minutes away, getting in and out of the city is a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location—this hotel is a concert traveler's dream. You're just a short stroll from major music venues and late-night hangouts. Despite its central setting, the hotel offers a surprisingly quiet night's sleep, thanks to solid soundproofing. The flexible check-out time of 12:00 is a huge bonus after a late night, and 24-hour reception means you’re always covered, no matter when your gig ends.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a big show together
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans craving a quiet, comfy place to recharge
  • Budget-conscious travelers looking for value in a premium location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Itchycoo Bar and Kitchen offers a seasonal menu and stunning views of the Royal Mile—perfect for a pre-show dinner or nightcap. A traditional Scottish breakfast is served in the morning, ideal for those who need a slow, late start. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means you're never far from late-night eats.

Nightlife Options

You’re right in the thick of Edinburgh’s vibrant nightlife. Dozens of pubs, cocktail lounges, and live music spots are within walking distance. The hotel bar is a relaxed option if you’re winding down or want to kick things off with a local craft drink before heading out.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, clean and modern rooms, and unbeatable location. Many note how easy it is to explore on foot and how the hotel makes a great base for both sightseeing and gig-going. The spa and pool are also frequent highlights for travelers looking to unwind.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that rooms facing the Royal Mile can pick up a bit of street noise—nothing some earplugs or a post-concert buzz can’t handle. Also, if you're hoping for super late-night dining, you may need to venture out, as room service isn’t 24/7.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, central, and comfortable place to stay after a night of live music, the Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh hits all the right notes.
