Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh

Central Comfort Just Steps from Edinburgh’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh is set in the heart of the city’s vibrant Quartermile district. Just a 10-minute walk from the iconic Royal Mile and 15 minutes from Edinburgh Castle, this all-suite hotel blends urban convenience with home-style comfort. With clean, contemporary décor and spacious rooms featuring kitchenettes, it’s a great base for music lovers exploring the capital.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the action here — major music venues are all walkable or a quick cab ride away. After a late show, the 24-hour front desk means no worries about returning late. And thanks to the hotel’s modern design and solid insulation, you’ll enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep even with the city buzzing outside. The 12:00 pm checkout is a welcome perk for those needing a slow morning after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share a roomy space with a kitchenette
• Solo travelers chasing a legendary live gig
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, relaxed base post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate included breakfast and in-room amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast every morning — perfect for late risers after a night out. While there's no full-service restaurant, the on-site bar offers drinks and snacks, and the kitchenette in every room makes it easy to prepare something light. You’re also within walking distance of some of Edinburgh’s best eateries for a late-night bite.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're heading to a gig or looking to keep the night going, the Residence Inn is close to popular bars, pubs, and lounges. While it doesn’t host live music itself, its location puts you near the action — and when you're ready to wind down, the quiet surroundings and relaxed bar offer a more chill vibe with a drink in hand.
