Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel

Perched on the edge of a picturesque private garden in the New Town, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel blends traditional glamour with the Scotland of today. Outside, a classical Georgian exterior stands as an ode to the past while inside, past the lobby, a glass-topped central courtyard is abuzz with activity as travellers unwind over gin & tonics, local professionals do business, and friends toast special occasions. The energy is so fresh and effervescent that you’ll want to bottle it and bring it home—but then again, it feels too distinctly Edinburgh to make sense anywhere else.

Far from Edinburgh’s crowded streets (and overlooking the city’s most beautiful private garden squares) is Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel. Comprised of seven interconnected Georgian townhouses, the newly renovated hotel employs rich woods, plush fabrics, and pops of color – including a smart use of tartan plaid to create a sophisticated, yet comfortable appeal. For smaller group travel, enjoy the exclusivity of the No.33 Townhouse - a 12 guest room Georgian Townhouse.
