The Scotsman Hotel, Category A listed hotel in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Scotsman Hotel is a listed ten-story building at the corner of North Bridge and Market Street in Edinburgh's city center. Inside you find guest rooms, a fitness center, a restaurant, and a private cinema space.
The building once housed the main office of The Scotsman newspaper before becoming a four-star hotel in 2001. This transformation preserved the structure's historic character while linking its journalism past to modern hospitality.
The cinema inside, called The Scotsman Picturehouse, shows films in a space that honors Edinburgh's entertainment past. This room brings together the building's former role as a newspaper hub with today's cultural activities.
Rooms become available at 3 PM on arrival day, with standard checkout at 11 AM, though longer stays can be arranged. The central location is walkable and easy to reach by public transport.
Guests who book directly online find a complimentary bottle of Prosecco waiting in their room. This welcoming gesture rewards direct reservations made through the hotel's website.
