An Insider's Take
'This sleek W Hotel brings New York glamour to Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, sitting boldly where medieval Scotland meets modern luxury.' What's Special? The hotel occupies a stunning 1930s former bank building, blending Art Deco architecture with W's signature contemporary design. You're literally steps from Edinburgh Castle and St. Giles' Cathedral, yet ensconced in ultra-modern luxury with panoramic city views from the top floors.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on the higher floors facing south for unobstructed views of Edinburgh Castle – especially magical during the Edinburgh Festival Fireworks in August.
Don't Miss The rooftop bar offers one of Edinburgh's best castle views, while the location puts you at the heart of the Royal Mile's whisky shops and within a 2-minute walk of Deacon's Cafe – a local favorite hidden down a medieval close that tourists often miss.
