The newly refurbished Royal Ettrick Hotel is set within the mature, leafy, Victorian suburbs to the south of Edinburgh city centre. This Hotel provides the perfect getaway from the bustle of the city whilst still being within walking distance of The Old Town. This popular residential area of the city has housed some of its most famous inhabitants, past and present including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and John Napier, the inventor of the decimal point! Built in the 1860's as the grand home of a rich Edinburgh barrister, The Royal Ettrick remained a private residence until it was converted into a hotel during the 1940's. The hotel offers 18 bedrooms situated across all three floors of the property with bedrooms on the upper levels accessed via the original ornate staircase.

With our private car park and ease of access to the Edinburgh bypass any travelling is simple and relaxed. Superb public transport links also service the hotel, with two main bus services into the heart of the city stopping directly in front of the hotel. Waverley Train Station under 2.5 miles away and Edinburgh Airport only 7.3 miles away making all travel and connections quick and easy. The hotel is also within walking distance of the Merchiston & Craiglockhart campuses of Napier University.
