The Snug Bar & Lounge
Situated at the heart of the hotel, this cozy lounge features leather sofas and a warm open fire pit. It is home to a world-class collection of over 200 Scotch whiskies and serves a menu of locally sourced sharing platters and artisan Scottish cheeses.
The Brasserie
This bright, modern space features floor-to-ceiling windows with a dramatic backdrop of Calton Hill. It is dedicated primarily to the breakfast service, offering a hearty full-Scottish spread, made-to-order à la carte hot dishes, and a comprehensive continental buffet.
Afternoon Tea @ The Snug
This refined experience offers a "Scottish twist" on the traditional British institution. Guests can enjoy homemade fruit and plain scones, carrot cake with orange sweet cream cheese, and savory bites like Amaretto chocolate ganache, all served in the intimate atmosphere of the Snug.
The Roof Garden & Terrace
Spread across two acres of real grass and greenery, this rooftop oasis offers a rare outdoor dining and drinking space in the city center. It is a premier location for sunset cocktails, late-night drams, or private alfresco dining events with panoramic views of the Edinburgh skyline.
Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel must address significant structural noise and vibrations caused by the neighboring cinema complex to ensure guests can sleep without disruption.
- —Management should prioritize bathroom repairs—specifically fixing broken dispensers and leaking shower seals—while ensuring that floor access remains secure for hotel guests only.
- —Improvements are needed for in-room and public area temperature control to eliminate "freezing" spaces, along with an upgrade to high-quality, soft bed linens that meet five-star standards.
