The Scott | Hotel in Newington, Edinburgh

The Scott is a hotel in Edinburgh's Southside, set within a restored 1750s baronial house named for Alexander Scott. From here, the city feels close and immediate, with historic character at the door and a calm place to return to after time in Edinburgh. Inside, 37 individually designed rooms keep the original building's sense of place while bringing in modern comfort, creating a stay that feels distinctive rather than standard.

Each room is different, but the experience carries the same thoughtful details throughout. Expect Elite Lily mattresses, fine linens, private bathrooms with Laura Thomas spa products, and comforts such as fluffy towels, bathrobes, slippers, Novus teas, and an OPAL capsule coffee machine with Coffee Conscience compostable pods. For dining, Bonnar's brings Scottish flavors to the table, with floor to ceiling windows facing the private garden. Later, the Gallery Bar offers a quieter pace with gins, Champagnes, whiskeys, and a curated wine list.

Shared spaces are designed to make the stay feel easy, with guest services, free WiFi, heating, a restaurant, and a bar all part of the experience. Parking is available, including an electric vehicle charging station, though spaces are limited and offered on a first come, first served basis. The property is pet friendly, and you can also find security features and smoke free rooms for added peace of mind. With nearby gym access and a location that keeps you close to the rhythm of the city, The Scott feels composed, practical, and rooted in Edinburgh.
