Traditional Elegance & Lively
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
Edinburgh is often described as elegant, refined, and steeped in history — a compact capital defined by its blend of Georgian order, Gothic drama, and medieval grandeur. If any hotel conveys the true essence of Edinburgh, it is Prestonfield House.
Located 2.2 miles south of the Old Town, the house, with its 17th-century origins, theatrical opulence, and old-world character, captures the city’s refinement, romance, and unmistakable sense of occasion.
Here it’s all rich fabrics, priceless antiques, and miles of marble and leather, in an over-the-top traditional style that is a complement rather than a contrast to the building’s old-world splendor. There’s an element of the theatrical at work here, as in any luxury hotel. This one happens to be blessed with twenty acres of tranquil parkland, to assist in setting the scene.
Guest rooms do contain all the trappings of a technologically modern hotel, but the gadgetry is hidden from view, such that those willing to suspend disbelief can entertain the fantasy of being personal guests of some storybook Scottish aristocrat.
An excellent restaurant, Rhubarb, and a couple of lavish lounges mean you can pass your stay without engaging with the urban side of Edinburgh at all, if you like.
