Combining the original splendour of this baronial building with unique contemporary features, The Scotsman is already known to be one of the most stylish, intimate hotels in Scotland. Located on Edinburgh’s historical North Bridge, the hotel is just a one-minute stroll from both Princes Street and The Royal Mile.

With 56 individually styled guest rooms and 13 superb suites, including a Penthouse on its own floor with private lift access, the hotel brings together the efficiency of the 21st Century with careful design, attention to the comfort of our guests and the very best in Scottish hospitality.

North Bridge is the ‘Chicest’ Bar & Brasserie in town and certainly one of the places to be seen. The architecture alone is stunning from the original marble pillars and oak panelling to the contemporary steel and glass bar and staircase.

Scotsman Health Club and Spa a private members health club extends over two levels and has made a dramatic escape from tradition. Funky cutting edge design, impeccable individual service and state-of-the-art health and fitness technology, sets the Scotsman Health Club apart from its competitors. The unusual black walls, ceramic tiles and 16-metre stainless steel pool, sauna, steam room, beauty spa, and an extensive collection of the latest exercise equipment make Scotsman Health Club and a perfect venue to relax, unwind or work off the stresses off the day. Use of Scotsman Health Club is complimentary to all hotel guests.

The 56 bedrooms and 13 Suites are each different in shape, interior design and size, resulting in a variety of rates. The common thread throughout all the rooms is the use of genuine Scottish Estate tweeds as part of the interior design. Some four dozen estates consented to allow us to use this very unique part of the Scottish heritage.

The Scotsman Spa offers a range of organic home treatments in a setting of absolute luxury and serenity. Only the highest quality/ hand made natural products are used. A haven of

tranquillity with rustic timber clad walls and cowskin rugs/ the perfect place to escape. Relax with a magazine/daydream as the fish go by on the plasma screen or try out the fantastic retro suspended bubble chair in the chill out room.
