Why Concert-goers love it

With its central location, you’re never far from Edinburgh’s top performance venues. Whether you're catching a show at Usher Hall or heading to the Castle for a festival gig, getting there is a breeze. After the show, stroll back to the hotel instead of scrambling for a ride. Rooms are soundproofed enough to ensure a quiet night’s sleep even in the middle of the city, and that 12pm check-out means you can sleep in after a late night. The 24-hour front desk and room service are perfect for those post-concert cravings or late arrivals.

There's an on-site restaurant and bar ready to fuel your night, whether you're grabbing a pre-show bite or a late-night snack.
