Description
Travel in style and stay in this luxurious 4-star hotel in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, just one minute's walk from Princes Street.
The prestigious Roxburghe Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Edinburgh and is located in the heart of the Georgian new town, overlooking the historic Charlotte Square, home to Scotland's First Minister.
This premier 4-star hotel is nearing the completion of a £7.55 million refurbishment of its meeting spaces, public areas and all of its 198 bedrooms, many of which offer views of Edinburgh Castle.
The hotel boasts an unrivalled location, between George Street, the stylish home of the city's top bars, restaurants and boutique shops, and Rose Street, with its more traditional pubs and eateries.
The hotel has a luxury spa and 7 stylish meeting rooms. Entertain up to 300 guests in the opulent George Suite.
At the Scottish Hotel Awards 2009, the Roxburghe was honoured with: Chef Medailles d'Or for Dinner Excellence; Housekeepers of the Year; Concierge of the Year; Conference & Events Commendation; Bedroom Design Commendation; and Rising Star Industry Contributor.
As part of a GBP 7.5 million refurbishment programme, all 198 bedrooms have been individually redesigned to complement the unique Georgian architecture of the Roxburghe Hotel.
Choose from a single, double or twin, or a contemporary executive room for extra space. All are air-conditioned and accessible rooms are available.
Settle into your comfortable guestroom, order room service and surf over 40 channels on the flat-screen TV. Alternatively, visit the Vital Health and Fitness Club and luxuriate in a deep bath before climbing under the plush covers for a sound night's sleep.
The Roxburghe prides itself on using the finest ingredients, sourced from local, organic suppliers where possible. So, during your stay, you can expect organic milk, free-range eggs, corn-fed poultry, grass-fed beef and wild white fish in all restaurants.
The talented chefs take these ingredients and prepare them creatively to strict quality standards, resulting in an exciting, varied menu.
Breakfast is served from 07:00 until 10:00.
Lunch is served from 10:00 until 18:00.
Dinner is served from 18:30 until 21:45.
Room service is available 24 hours a day.
The ideal city-break destination, Edinburgh offers world-class historical and cultural attractions - including Edinburgh Castle, which stands on the edge of an extinct volcano - a diverse selection of restaurants and bars, and unparalleled shopping opportunities.
Visit during August and experience the cultural explosion that is the Edinburgh Festival or join in the winter festivals that culminate in a giant Hogmanay celebration.
