The Scott Hotel - Edinburgh

4-star boutique hotel in Edinburgh's Southside, set within a gated 18th-century baronial house

Rooms

The Scott offers 37 uniquely designed rooms, each with Elite™ Lily mattresses and Laura Thomas spa products. Rooms feature OPAL capsule coffee machines with Coffee Conscience compostable pods and a selection of award-winning Novus teas. No two rooms are alike, with some offering views of Arthur's Seat.

Dining

Bonnar's, the on-site restaurant, serves Scottish cuisine prepared by Head Chef Pier Berretta, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the private garden. The Velvet Lounge offers a curated wine list selected by L'Art Du Vin, plus specialty gins, champagnes, and whiskies. Guests can also dine at the sister property, The Scholar Hotel, on Sundays and Mondays when Bonnar's is closed.

Fitness & Wellness

Guests have access to two nearby gym facilities: Pleasance Sports Complex, one of the country's leading gyms with sports-specific areas, and Oxygen Fitness Studios, a 3-minute walk across the gardens with rowing machines, spin bikes, and free weights. Both facilities are within walking distance of The Scott. The hotel itself is set within landscaped gardens, offering a quiet environment for morning strolls.

Pet-Friendly Policies

The Scott welcomes dogs as part of the family, with dedicated pet bowls and pet baskets available. Dogs are not allowed to be left alone in guest bedrooms at any time, and charges apply for bringing a pet. Guests are asked to notify the hotel after booking if they plan to bring a dog.
