The Spotlight on The Place

Stylish Georgian Charm in the Heart of Edinburgh

Modern comfort meets classic elegance at The Place Hotel, a 4-star stay housed across three beautiful Georgian townhouses. Located in Edinburgh’s vibrant city centre, this boutique hotel offers a sleek, stylish vibe with easy access to theatres, bars, and iconic venues. Whether you're catching a show or exploring the city, it’s all right on your doorstep.

Each room blends historic charm with modern design, featuring a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a sleek private bathroom stocked with luxury toiletries. Some rooms even offer views over the Firth of Forth—a peaceful way to start or end a busy concert day.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is in a prime spot—just a 5-minute walk from the Playhouse Theatre and George Street’s music-friendly bars. With Edinburgh Waverley Station only 10 minutes away on foot, getting to and from gigs is a breeze. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern, making it a great place to recharge after a high-energy show. Plus, the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before the evening starts, and the 11:00 AM check-out means no early wakeups after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the nightlife
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list artist at the Playhouse
- Couples making a romantic weekend of live music and city exploring
- Fans wanting a quieter place to unwind post-concert
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value in the city centre

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site bar serves up a classy atmosphere and a well-crafted cocktail list—perfect for a nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of late-night dining options within a short walk on George Street. And if you’ve been out late, you’ll appreciate the option of a relaxed breakfast to ease into your day.

Nightlife Options

Staying at The Place puts you within easy reach of some of Edinburgh’s best bars, clubs, and lounges. Whether you’re looking for a refined evening or somewhere to keep the party going, you’re covered. The hotel bar is also a chill spot to unwind with a local drink before or after the main event.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s location, beautiful rooms, and friendly staff. Many mention how easy it is to walk to shows and enjoy the nightlife without needing a taxi. The classy interiors and comfy beds also get regular shout-outs from travelers recovering from a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that rooms facing the street might catch a bit of city noise—earplugs could be a good idea if you're a light sleeper. There’s no on-site restaurant for full meals, but with so many nearby options, it’s rarely a deal-breaker.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to Edinburgh for a concert, The Place Hotel offers a stylish, central, and hassle-free stay just minutes from the music and nightlife.

Somewhat disappointing, but it would...

Liked: Good location, friendly and pleasant staff, and excellent breakfast.
Disliked: The bedroom remained very warm, despite the limited-opening windows and use of a fan supplied. For the price paid (£411 inc breakfast) for one night, a better solution for cooling should be stanadard.

Loved the hotel, but need...

Liked: Great location, very helpful staff, room was modern and although small had everything you need.
Disliked: The only negative we had was the mattress, so uncomfortable. Its such a shame as the rest of our stay was excellent, unfortunately, would probably prevent us from booking again.

Close to airport tram and...

Liked: The front desk staff were very helpful. The hotel was very conveniently located in relation to the tram to the airport and to the portrait gallery of the National Museums of Scotland. Walking to the buzz of Princes Street took me about 20 minutes. Compared to other hotels in the more central part of the city and considering the busy festival period, this hotel offered value for money.
Disliked: I had to climb up two flights of stairs to get to my single room. No aircondition against heat (and windows do not open so it was fairly hot inside the small room.
