Location
Positioned as the perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh, the Holyrood Aparthotel offers a residential location that is quite literally a stone's throw from all that the historic Royal Mile has to offer. This famed thoroughfare is home to some of the city's most well-known independent retailers, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Proximity to key landmarks is notable, with Arthur's Seat hike a mere 2 km away, St Giles' Cathedral and Calton Hill at 0.5 km, and the Scottish National Gallery, Camera Obscura, and the Royal Mile itself all within a 1 km radius. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is also right on its doorstep at 0.5 km.
Style and Character
The apartments here feature a light, contemporary style, offering ample, clean, and uncluttered living areas. The décor leans towards a refined, modern aesthetic, creating a serene atmosphere conducive to both relaxation and productivity. While the specific historical context of the building isn't detailed, the overall impression is one of considered, up-to-date design that prioritizes guest comfort and a sense of calm within the city's energy.
Service and Facilities
Holyrood Aparthotel places a strong emphasis on guest well-being and convenience. A key feature is the provision of breakfast hampers, ideal for those who prefer a leisurely start to their day within the privacy of their apartment. Guests can also opt for a grab & go breakfast box or a more comprehensive breakfast basket, including a range of continental items. For evening meals, guests can arrange for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and groceries to be delivered directly to their apartment. For those inclined to unwind, the Abbotsford Room Bar & Lounge offers an elegant space with a vibrant merger of Victorian charm and contemporary tone, noted as one of the best places to relax in the city. The drinks list focuses on the finest Scottish whiskies and spirits, sourced from suppliers who share environmental values.
