Welcome to The Scott, where history intertwines with luxury in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside. Named after Alexander Scott, the esteemed original owner of the magnificent baronial house erected in the 1750s, our hotel echoes history combined with the elegance of today.
With no two rooms alike, you will discover 37 rooms that seamlessly blend modern amenities with the historic charm of the original building. Sink into Elite™ Lily mattresses draped with the finest linens, and pamper yourself in exquisitely designed en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. Additionally, enjoy a selection of award-winning Novus teas, and indulge in the convenience of an OPAL capsule coffee machine stocked with Coffee Conscience compostable coffee pods, ensuring a delightful start to your day.
By late spring, guests will be able to dine in style at Bonnar’s, where the legacy of Thomas Bonnar comes to life amidst floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our private garden.
After a day of exploration, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskies await. Let our curated wine list, selected by L’Art Du Vin, elevate your senses as you soak in the ambience of our meticulously restored lounge, brimming with original features and character.
For those wanting to maintain their fitness, guests have access to two exceptional gym facilities located nearby. The [Pleasence Sports Complex Gym], boasts one of the country’s leading gym facilities with sports-specific areas as well as your traditional gym. Just 20-minute walk away, this serves as a refreshing warm-up en route. Additionally, [Oxygen Fitness Studios], just a 3-minute walk across the gardens, consists of two studios equipped with rowing machines, spin backs and free weights.
We acknowledge the importance of dogs as cherished family members, and it's our pleasure to extend our hospitality to them. We kindly request guests who plan to bring dogs to notify us after booking their stay. Charges are applicable.

I think it is very cool looking hotel, it did state it was renovated recently but you can’t tell it from bathrooms as radiator was leaking badly. Breakfast was nice but by the 9am mark they ran out of some items. Staff were lovely.

My flight was late and I arrived at Edinburgh from London late at night. It was already past one in the morning when I arrived at the hotel. The reception was on duty and it was very nice! The room is right above the entrance, the bedding is very comfortable, and the breakfast the next day is great, but the space is limited and you have to queue up. If you have time, you can enjoy it slowly!

Let’s talk about the shortcomings first. The room is small and there is no air conditioning.
Then there are the advantages: free parking, the 1750 castle is full of classic elegance, and the breakfast is very delicious!
Four-word summary: The hotel is worth it!

The Scott Hotel team went out of their way to help us check in early after our sleepless night on the Caledonian Sleeper. This is a lovely hotel and we will be back to stay at it again.
We gave 3/5 stars for the areas surrounding The Scott Hotel as we think more can be done with The Scholar’s bar next door, which is the option as a hotel bar for The Scott Hotel. Perhaps install more welcoming lighting as it was very brightly lit.
But that’s a minor quibble about our fantastic stay.

The heating in the room was turned way too high as we arrived, it was like a sauna, apparently to compensate for the cold weather outside :) Everything else went great; friendly staff, clean hotel, delicious breakfast.

University hotels and Bistro next door. Taxi ride from the City Centre but walkable if fit - 30 mins. Charming 17th C decor in breakfast room and lounges. Arthur’sSeat is nearby in Holyrood Park and a great area for walking.

Situated within the University of Edinburgh near Holyrood. Free parking. Lovely setting and hotel. We were in Room 25 and it was very comfortable and spacious. You can dine in the adjacent Scholars Hotel but we did not try it. Breakfast was lovely. The hotel is close to the Commonwealth Pool. It’s an easy 25 mins walk to Princes Street with lots to see along the way. Buses 2,4,14,30 and 33 will take you into town for £2. We will book here again as it’s such a lovely relaxed place.
