Just a 20-minute walk from Princes Street and the New Town, this beautifully restored Georgian property blends exposed stone walls, tartan touches, and sash windows with smart, contemporary design. With on-site dining, a cozy bar, and easy access to live music, it’s a favorite for fans making a weekend of it in Scotland’s capital.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the Raeburn for its peaceful yet central location. You're within walking distance of several top live venues and just 1.5 miles from Waverley and Haymarket stations — ideal for late-night trains or quick access to gigs in Glasgow. After the show, return to a quiet, upscale neighborhood, far from the tourist bustle. With flexible check-in from 15:00 and a relaxed vibe, it’s a great base for post-concert unwinding.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a classy yet cozy base
• Solo travelers attending a once-in-a-lifetime gig
• Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans willing to spend a little more for charm and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The Raeburn’s brasserie-style restaurant serves up seasonal British fare made with local produce — perfect for a pre-show dinner or relaxed post-gig meal. The bar is a highlight, with a fireplace, bespoke chairs, and a terrace for warm evenings. While there's no 24/7 room service, in-room mini-bars and coffee facilities keep you comfy. Breakfast is available, so you can sleep in and recharge after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the Raeburn itself doesn’t host live music, its stylish bar is a lovely place to start or end your night with a craft cocktail or local whisky. Plus, you’re a short stroll or cab ride from some of Edinburgh’s best music venues, lively pubs, and hidden cocktail spots in the New Town and beyond.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautifully restored building, friendly staff, and stylish yet comfortable rooms. The location wins praise for being both scenic and practical, especially for travelers who want to avoid the noise of the city center but still stay close to the action. Many reviewers highlight the excellent food and relaxed bar atmosphere as standouts.

Areas for Improvement

The Raeburn isn’t the cheapest option, so it may not suit every budget. Also, if you're looking for late-night eats or 24-hour amenities, you might need to plan ahead — the area is more residential than rowdy.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a stylish, peaceful retreat after a night of music, The Raeburn delivers charm, comfort, and a touch of Edinburgh elegance.
