An Insider's Take
'A magnificent transformation of Edinburgh's former Royal Bank headquarters into Scotland's most prestigious luxury hotel, where Victorian grandeur meets contemporary sophistication in the heart of the Old Town.' What's Special? The Edinburgh Grand occupies a stunning 19th-century banking hall with soaring ceilings and original architectural details. As part of Marriott's elite STARS program, guests enjoy exclusive perks like room upgrades and VIP treatment. The hotel sits on the historic Royal Mile, just steps from Edinburgh Castle and St. Giles' Cathedral.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room facing the Royal Mile for spectacular views of the cobblestone street and medieval architecture, especially enchanting during the Edinburgh Festival when street performers fill the historic thoroughfare.
