An Insider's Take
'This former church turned boutique hotel sits in Edinburgh's buzzing New Town, where Georgian elegance meets modern sophistication just steps from the Royal Mile.' What's Special? The Glasshouse's most striking feature is its dramatic two-story glass atrium that crowns the preserved Victorian Lady Glenorchy Church facade. This architectural marvel floods the lobby with natural light while maintaining the building's 1842 heritage. The rooftop garden terrace offers panoramic views of Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat, making it one of Edinburgh's most Instagrammable hotel spaces.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on the upper floors facing south for unobstructed views of Edinburgh Castle - particularly magical during the Festival Fireworks in August.
Don't Miss The hotel's location at the top of Leith Walk puts you at the perfect intersection of Edinburgh's neighborhoods. Walk 5 minutes to Princes Street for shopping, or head downhill to trendy Leith for award-winning restaurants like The Kitchin. The nearby Calton Hill offers the best sunset views in the city and is practically on your doorstep.
