Observatory House and Apartment | Apartment in New Town, Edinburgh
New Town mornings, pale light, a kitchen with room to breathe.
Observatory House & Apartment places you in New Town, Edinburgh, with Calton Hill just outside and easy access to the Scott Monument, St Giles Cathedral, and Edinburgh Waverley station. This apartment stay sits in one of the city’s most distinctive settings, where historic architecture and long views shape the experience from the moment you arrive. Observatory House is managed on behalf of Collective by JOIVY. Inside, the mood stays calm and residential, with the city close at hand and the pace of the neighborhood easy to navigate on foot. The property spans 2152 square feet and is designed for longer, more settled stays. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, Internet, and TV for everyday comfort. A balcony or terrace and a garden add outdoor space, while fireplace or heating helps the rooms feel comfortable year-round. Bedding and linens are provided, and the child-friendly setup makes the stay practical for families or groups sharing time together. Across the house, the living spaces are arranged for gathering and quiet retreat alike. Guests have access to smart television lounges, a kitchen, and a lower level kitchenette, with room to cook, linger, and spread out. Wellness facilities are also available, adding another layer of ease after a day in the city. Check-in is in person, with a member of the team welcoming you, showing you around, and providing the keys. From the door, New Town opens into a walkable stretch of Edinburgh with museums, galleries, restaurants, and food shops within reach. Waverley is a 10-minute walk away, and the city center feels close without losing the sense of being slightly above it all. It is the kind of stay that leaves you with views, space, and the quiet rhythm of the hill in mind long after you leave.

The location could not have been better....incredible views over the city. And the observatory tower is an AMAZING place to reserve for a group. Amenities inside the accomodation were top of the line....
Everything was great
The most extraordinary place to stay in Edinburgh by a long shot. The location could not be more perfect, the house more welcoming and the beds more comfortable. Waking up with these incredible views...
