Dining

On-site restaurants

One Square Bar & Brasserie

The hotel's primary dining destination offers a seasonally changing menu that emphasizes local Scottish produce. Signature dishes include Peterhead-landed seafood and native-breed steaks. The bar is a standout feature, housing an extensive collection of over 100 gins, including the hotel’s own custom-distilled "One Square Gin."

One Spa Café

Tucked away in the award-winning One Spa, this café provides a quiet, light-filled sanctuary for post-treatment relaxation. The menu is designed for "inner balance," featuring nutrient-dense "Buddha bowls," fresh fruit smoothies, herbal infusions, and light, healthy snacks prepared by a dedicated wellness culinary team.

One Square Terrace

An all-weather outdoor terrace that offers some of the best views of Edinburgh Castle in the city. Equipped with heated seating and cozy blankets, it provides a vibrant setting for casual gatherings, botanical cocktails, and premium spirits year-round.

Private Dining Room

A sophisticated private space situated within One Square that can accommodate up to 40 guests. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Festival Square and the Castle, it is designed for exclusive corporate events, wedding receptions, and intimate celebratory dinners.

Honest review

What could be better

  • The hotel needs to clearly communicate that access to the "One Spa" and rooftop hydropool is not always included in the room rate to avoid guest frustration and feelings of being misled.
  • Management should ensure that technical issues, such as malfunctioning telephones and poor sound insulation, are addressed before guests arrive to protect their rest and comfort.
  • Staff training is needed to improve responses to guest complaints and special occasions, ensuring that birthday acknowledgments feel personal and that billing disputes or technical grievances are handled with genuine accountability.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
