Thistle Edinburgh Hotel

Edinburgh has been a royal city since 1437, when it took over from Scone as the capital of Scotland. Now the seat of the Scottish Parliament, its famous round the world for its Festival, which runs for three weeks every summer, and the riotous New Year revelry of Hogmanay, which is a much bigger deal than Christmas north of the border.

Thistle Edinburgh, which has 143 bedrooms, including suites, is located just off Edinburgh’s world famous Princes Street, and just a short walk from the Royal Mile, dominated by Edinburgh Castle at one end and the palace of Holyroodhouse, still the Queens official residence in the Scottish capital, at the other.

Close to Waverley station, and with six meeting rooms, the largest seating up to 250 theatre-style, Thistle Edinburgh is ideally placed for business meetings and other events. We also have guest car parking available on a first-come-first-served basis at £15 for 24 hours. And whether you’re here for work or pleasure, the Fringe or to see in the New Year, you can be sure we’ll roll out the red carpet for you.
