Hotel du Vin Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland

Location:
Hotel du Vin is right in the centre of Edinburgh’s Old Town, less than 5 mins’ walk south of the Royal Mile.

By Air:
Edinburgh International Airport is a 20-30 minute drive away, with a wide range of international and domestic flights - click the links at the bottom of this page for details. A taxi from the airport cost around £25 in 2008 and will take around 25-30 minutes to reach central Edinburgh. Airlink shuttle buses run between the airport and Princes Street / Waverley station in not much more time (and for much less money). Or, the Edinburgh Shuttle is a door-to-door shared taxi service that costs £10pp each way (2008).

By Train:
Waverley train station is about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the hotel. Edinburgh is on a mainline rail route, easily reached from stations such as Inverness, coming from the north, or London, from the south.

By Car:
There is no on-site parking at the hotel but valet parking can be arranged (see Rates). The NCP (Quartermile) car park is located within walking distance and hotel guests receive a 20% discount. If you want to hire a car, we recommend Holiday Autos, which offers competitive prices and you can collect your vehicle from the airport or other city locations.

Detailed directions will be provided when you book through i-escape.

Save to favouritesPrintMailHotel du Vin EdinburghThis 2008 opening from one of the UK's best-loved small hotel groups occupies a plum spot near the castle in Edinburgh's World-Heritage-listed Old Town. As with all Hotel du Vin properties, it makes the most of a historic heritage, having been largely converted from a former poorhouse lunatic asylum. The result is as far from a lego-like new-build as possible. Instead, in its tall rooms and multi-level layout, the architecture cleverly mimics the steep, warren-like closes and higgledy-piggledy topography that characterise the neighbourhood. The interior design, too, honours the historic and characterful, but with a contemporary twist. Look out for the vast chandelier made from suspended crystal glasses that shimmers over the lobby. There are classic leather armchairs, internal glass walls, a whisky snug, a nouveau Scottish bistro, and (unlike some of the more showy hotels that have recently opened in Edinburgh) just a smidgen of tastefully subdued tartan. A great example of contemporary Scottish style.
