Angels Share Hotel, Edinburgh - A Contemporary Scottish Saloon
Angels Share Hotel, Bar & Restaurant is a sophisticated celebration of contemporary Scottish culture, presenting a vibrant and fashionable face of the nation through its stunning design and curated experiences. It's a place that understands the nuances of hospitality, offering a refined escape that's both grounded in local flavour and executed with polished professionalism. Personally, I find its approach to merging a lively bar atmosphere with chic accommodation to be quite compelling.
Location
Situated just 1.5 km from Edinburgh Waverley station, the hotel places you at the heart of the city's historical and cultural tapestry. It's a mere kilometre's stroll to icons like the Royal Mile, Scott Monument, and the National Gallery, with the atmospheric depths of The Real Mary King's Close and the Old Town within easy reach. For those drawn to the wilder side of Edinburgh, Arthur's Seat beckons a short drive away. While it doesn't boast dramatic panoramic views from every window, its proximity to so many significant landmarks is its true geographical advantage.
Style and Character
The hotel champions the very best of Scotland through its carefully curated, stunning design. Each of the 31 bedrooms is dedicated to a famous Scot - think Sean Connery or Ewan McGregor - providing a unique narrative thread that nods to the nation's iconic figures. Expect contemporary Scottish design with a watchful eye on comfort and style. The public spaces, particularly the bar area, are adorned with beautiful chandeliers and possess an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. It's a space that understands its heritage while firmly embracing a modern aesthetic.
Service and Facilities
The team at Angels Share is clearly excited about what they offer, and it shows. Their skilled staff are adept at guiding guests through the extensive whisky and cocktail menus, ensuring a tailored experience for every palate. Beyond the exceptional bar service, the hotel reserves the possibility of accommodating guests in an equivalent property if needed, a thoughtful contingency. Live performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights add a distinct cultural flourish, bringing local musicians into the hotel's energetic atmosphere. The Devils Cut, a quirky private bar and function space for up to 130 guests, offers a unique venue for private events.
Rooms
The hotel's 31 bedrooms are stylish and contemporary, each dedicated to a famous Scot and featuring a nod towards whisky roots. Standard Rooms offer a compact, stylish design with a flat-screen TV and luxury cotton sheets. Spacious Deluxe Rooms are more generous, featuring a seating area perfect for relaxation or accommodating an additional bed, complete with a super king-size bed or two single beds dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets. All rooms come equipped with secure complimentary WiFi, in-room safes, LCD TVs, luxurious Scottish toiletries, Dyson Hot & Cool Fans, complimentary still water, irons, ironing boards, fluffy bathrobes, cosy slippers, a selection of teas and coffees featuring Tunnock's teacakes, and a fully stocked mini-bar with favourite tipples. It's the thoughtful touches, like the quality of the linens and the inclusion of premium fans, that elevate the experience.
Food and Drink
The culinary experience at Angels Share focuses on the finest modern cuisine, crafted from fresh, locally sourced Scottish produce. The a la carte menu puts Scottish cuisine at its centre, delivered with an innovative flair. Hudson's Bar serves from breakfast through to late-night supper, complementing the hotel's progressive style. For those seeking a lighter experience, the sunlit area, adorned with beautiful chandeliers, is ideal for morning coffee or afternoon catch-ups, offering an a la carte menu until late. The Angels' Tea is a particular highlight, featuring a glass of Prosecco on arrival, daily prepared sandwich bites, stunning cakes, home-made scones, and ample tea - a true indulgence. The Angels' Share bar itself is a destination, boasting over 200 whiskies, live music, and delicious food served until late every night.
Value for Money
While specific pricing isn't provided, the comprehensive in-room amenities, the quality of the dining and bar offerings, and the unique thematic design suggest a strong value proposition, particularly for those seeking an immersive Scottish experience. The inclusion of items like Dyson fans and premium toiletries, coupled with the extensive whisky selection, points towards a hotel that prioritizes guest comfort and a discerning palate. It feels like a property that delivers on its promise of a stylish, culturally rich stay.
Accessibility
Specific details regarding accessibility features such as adapted rooms or wheelchair access are not provided in the source material. However, the hotel's mention of accommodating guests in equivalent properties might extend to ensuring accessibility needs can be met where possible through their partner network.
Family-Friendly
The availability of spacious deluxe rooms with seating areas that can accommodate an additional bed suggests a degree of flexibility for families. The inclusion of thoughtful amenities like fluffy bathrobes and slippers adds to a comfortable stay for all guests. While not explicitly detailed, the hotel's general atmosphere of warmth and its cultural programming could appeal to families looking for a uniquely Scottish experience, though younger children's specific needs are not elaborated upon.
“This boutique hotel places you squarely in Edinburgh's West End, a short walk to key attractions. The dedication to Scottish luminaries with each room's unique design is a memorable touch. The bar, though popular, promises a deep dive into local whisky.”
