Royal Scots Club - A Georgian townhouse hotel with Scottish dining, event spaces, and proximity to Queen Street Gardens
The Royal Scots Club occupies three Georgian townhouses in Edinburgh's New Town, featuring 27 en-suite rooms, including four-poster rooms with views of Queen Street Gardens or the city skyline. The elegant Dining Room serves Scottish cuisine with locally sourced produce, and private pre-tattoo meals are available for groups. Located near landmarks like the Scott Monument (0.5 km) and Calton Hill (1 km), the hotel offers high-speed Wi-Fi (100 Mbps), meeting rooms with AV equipment, and access to over 220 reciprocal clubs worldwide. Guests can arrange weddings, conferences, or private dining in one of six event spaces, including the Princess Royal Suite.
Pros
The grand Georgian architecture includes original features like carved staircases and marble fireplaces.
Private pre-tattoo dining packages start at £31pp with complimentary room hire.
Proximity to Edinburgh's UNESCO-listed New Town, with the Scott Monument and Scottish National Gallery within 0.5 km.
Four-poster rooms feature Molton Brown toiletries and views of Queen Street Gardens.
Access to a global network of reciprocal clubs for members and guests.
Cons
Metered parking on nearby streets costs £3.70 per hour during weekdays.
Some rooms have restricted views due to their basement or lower-ground-floor locations.
“What stands out is the location; a brief walk lands you right in the heart of the city, yet the area maintains a quiet, safe feel. The spacious rooms offer a comfortable retreat, and the recent bathroom renovations are a welcome touch. I particularly appreciate the blend of historical charm with modern amenities, like the in-room coffee machine-a thoughtful detail.”
Luke HarrisonEditor-in-Chief at Hotelewam
