Established in 1924, The Edinburgh Thistle Hotel is located in the prestigious, quiet and residential West End area of the city centre.

Close by is Edinburgh Castle, St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) and of course the renowned Princes Street with its vast array of stylish shops and stores.

Having been a Georgian Town House and retaining most of its original period features, our hotel comprises 10 comfortable, elegant and spacious En-Suite rooms.

As you would expect to find from a family run hotel, our ‘Manor Lounge’ bar is, in true and traditional Scottish style, friendly and highly entertaining in character. Live Jazz music can be heard on Saturday nights and during other Special Events, along with traditional Scottish and Gaelic music, throughout the course of the year.

The ‘Manor Suite’ is available for your choice of function, whether it be celebratory or for business purposes.

Visitors to our hotel hail from all corners of the globe, particularly for major Rugby and Golf events, Hogmanay and the Edinburgh Festival, eager to sample our unique brand of warm and homely attention, not to mention our fine selection of blended and malt whiskies.
