24 Royal Terrace Hotel - Edinburgh

Art-filled boutique hotel on a UNESCO Heritage street with a dedicated whisky bar and over 200 Scotch malts

Art and Whisky

24 Royal Terrace doubles as an art gallery, with the owner's rotating art collection displayed throughout the building. The hotel's dedication to whisky is evident in Towser's Lounge, a dedicated whisky lounge opened in 2024 with over 200 Scotch whiskies. Guests can book tastings with resident expert Tony, who hosts sessions most days.

Individually Designed Rooms

Each of the 14 rooms is individually designed and furnished with premium Egyptian cotton linen. Some rooms include well-appointed kitchenettes for longer stays, and rooms feature original architectural elements from the Grade A listed Georgian building. Access is by stairs only, as the hotel has no lift, but staff carry luggage.

Dining and Bar

Breakfast is served with flexible hours, using high-quality local ingredients and includes options like a Full Scottish or Eggs Royale. The hotel's bar offers signature cocktails, wines, beers, and snacks in a sophisticated setting. Light snacks are available throughout the day, and guests can enjoy drinks in the private garden.
