Edinburgh Castle Apartments & Suites - Historic Heart, Modern Comfort
Edinburgh Castle Apartments & Suites offers a curated collection of serviced apartments, providing a refreshing sense of space, freedom, and privacy right in the very heart of Scotland's magnificent capital. These brand-new, contemporary apartments are thoughtfully situated within historic buildings, ensuring a unique connection to the city's rich past while offering all the conveniences of modern living. They present discerning travellers with an elegant base from which to explore Edinburgh's considerable charms.
Location
The prime positioning of these apartments is undeniable. Situated on or within 250 metres of Edinburgh's world-famous Royal Mile, you are placed at the epicenter of the city's historic core. The New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is also within easy reach, famed for its neoclassical architecture, upscale boutiques, and refined eateries. Merely a two-minute walk takes you to Princes Street, where an efficient tram and bus network connects you swiftly to the financial and business districts, as well as the city's major railway stations, Waverley and Haymarket, which offer regular services across Scotland and the UK. For those with an eye on the wider world, Edinburgh Airport is readily accessible, placing it among the top UK cities for air traffic. It's a location that serves both the leisure and corporate traveller with equal aplomb, offering immediate access to everything from great traditional pubs to significant cultural landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, both within a manageable distance.
Style and Character
Within the venerable stone walls of Edinburgh's historic buildings, the apartments themselves present a vision of modern, stylish comfort. The design aesthetic leans towards a contemporary, clean-lined approach, creating a relaxing environment that provides a welcome retreat after a day of exploration or business. Personal touches, such as selected books by local writers and thoughtfully curated art, are often present, adding a layer of narrative depth. While specific designers are not highlighted, the intention is clearly to provide a sophisticated yet unpretentious atmosphere, where comfort and elegance are paramount. The private entrance to each apartment affords a sense of exclusivity and personal space, a welcome departure from the more conventional hotel experience.
Service and Facilities
Edinburgh Castle Apartments & Suites prides itself on offering a flexible service model, catering to individual needs with a choice between security, full service, and self-catering options. While not a traditional hotel with a staffed front desk at all times, the commitment to guest privacy is unwavering. For items left behind, a postal service is available on demand, at the guest's expense, ensuring a discreet and efficient resolution. Beyond the in-apartment amenities, guests can take advantage of garden access in select apartments, ideal for a quiet moment of reflection or a discreet cigarette. The apartments are equipped with modern amenities, including complimentary Wi-Fi and LCD Smart TVs, and benefit from 24-hour monitored security, providing peace of mind.
Rooms
The collection comprises Studio Suites, One-Bedroom Penthouse Apartments, and Two-Bedroom Apartments, each designed to accommodate varying needs and group sizes. The Studio Suites offer a modern, contemporary feel with a comfortable lounge area featuring a sofa bed, ideal for solo travellers or couples. One-Bedroom Penthouse Apartments provide a similar modern aesthetic with the added luxury of a king-size bed and a dedicated seating area, alongside all regular luxury amenities. The Self-Catering Two-Bedroom Apartments are particularly generous, offering two distinct bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully fitted kitchen, and a bathroom equipped with invigorating power showers. All apartments are furnished with parquet floors, comfortable seating areas, flat-screen TVs with streaming services, and dining areas. Kitchens are fully equipped with refrigerators, toasters, microwaves, and essential kitchenware, complemented by electric kettles. Linen and towels are provided, and amenities such as ironing facilities and heating ensure a comfortable stay. Some select apartments can accommodate an additional double sofa bed upon request, and select units are designed with garden views.
Food and Drink
As serviced apartments, Edinburgh Castle Apartments & Suites provide fully fitted kitchens in the majority of their accommodations, empowering guests to prepare their own meals. This self-catering aspect is supported by the proximity to local markets and a wide array of dining establishments within the surrounding New Town and Old Town areas. From traditional pubs to more upscale eateries, the options for affordable and unique dining experiences are abundant, allowing guests to curate their own culinary adventures throughout their stay in Scotland's capital.
Value for Money
The inherent value of Edinburgh Castle Apartments & Suites lies in the blend of spacious, private accommodation with an unbeatable central location. For business travellers, delegates attending conventions, or families seeking more room than a standard hotel, these apartments offer a cost-effective and comfortable solution. The self-catering facilities further enhance value by allowing for reduced dining expenses. The option for special romantic touches, like a bottle of prosecco with chocolate-dipped strawberries on arrival, adds an element of curated luxury that enhances the perceived worth of the stay.
Accessibility
Information regarding specific accessibility features, such as wheelchair access or adapted rooms, is not explicitly detailed in the provided materials. However, the presence of private entrances and the varied apartment layouts suggest potential for accommodating different needs. For detailed queries concerning accessibility, direct contact with the property is recommended.
Family-Friendly
The self-catering two-bedroom apartments, with their separate living areas and fully fitted kitchens, are particularly well-suited for families. The inclusion of sofa beds in the living rooms offers flexibility for sleeping arrangements, allowing each apartment in the two-bedroom range to comfortably accommodate up to four guests. This setup provides the space and amenities necessary for a relaxed family break, allowing parents to prepare meals and children to have their own space to play and unwind after exploring the city.
“Edinburgh Castle Apartments places you steps from the Royal Mile, offering spacious, modern flats inside historic buildings. I found the personalized welcome touches, like prosecco, reflect a commitment to guest experience. While some may find the lack of a lift an issue, the combination of location and well-equipped apartments makes it a solid choice.”
