Modern comfort meets traditional elegance at The Edinburgh Residence.

With flexible check-in from 4:00 PM and a convenient 11:00 AM check-out, it suits those attending late-night gigs. Public transport is close by, and the suites are large enough for winding down with friends or catching your breath solo.
