Royal Ettrick Hotel, Edinburgh

Hotel Description

Set within an exclusive residential area to the South of Edinburgh's historic City Centre, this traditional hotel features a newly refurbished modern interior, whilst still retaining its original character and charm.

A welcome alternative to city centre accommodation, the Royal Ettrick Hotel enjoys a peaceful position on the outskirts of the city, yet just a 15-minute bus journey away from all that Edinburgh has to offer. The hotel is also within walking distances of 2 of Napier University's campuses, Merchiston and Craiglockhart.

In addition to 17 beautifully-decorated guestrooms, the Royal Ettrick Hotel features a light-filled Conservatory Bistro, serving a full menu throughout the day and restaurant dining in the evening. In the summer months, al fresco dining is available in the private garden.
