Welcome to The Scott, where history intertwines with luxury in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside. Named after Alexander Scott, the esteemed original owner of the magnificent baronial house erected in the 1750s, our hotel echoes history combined with the elegance of today.

With no two rooms alike, you will discover 37 rooms that seamlessly blend modern amenities with the historic charm of the original building. Sink into Elite™ Lily mattresses draped with the finest linens, and pamper yourself in exquisitely designed en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. Additionally, enjoy a selection of award-winning Novus teas, and indulge in the convenience of an OPAL capsule coffee machine stocked with Coffee Conscience compostable coffee pods, ensuring a delightful start to your day.

Guests are able to dine in style at Bonnar’s, where the legacy of Thomas Bonnar comes to life amidst floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our private garden. Savour a culinary journey produced by our Head Chef, Pier Berretta, who is inspired by Scottish flavours that are impeccably presented in a setting that reflects the elegance of the 18th-century baronial house.

After a day of exploration, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskies await. Let our curated wine list, selected by L’Art Du Vin, elevate your senses as you soak in the ambience of our meticulously restored lounge, brimming with original features and character.

For those wanting to maintain their fitness, guests have access to two exceptional gym facilities located nearby. The Pleasence Sports Complex Gym boasts one of the country’s leading gym facilities with sports-specific areas as well as your traditional gym. Just a 20-minute walk away, this serves as a refreshing warm-up en route. Additionally, Oxygen Fitness Studios, just a 3-minute walk across the gardens, consists of two studios equipped with rowing machines, spin bikes and free weights.

We acknowledge the importance of dogs as cherished family members, and it's our pleasure to extend our hospitality to them. We kindly request guests who plan to bring dogs to notify us after booking their stay. Charges are applicable.

Bonnar's and the Velvet Lounge are currently open Tues - Sat, guests can enjoy drinks and dinner in our sister property The Scholar Hotel situated next door on a Sunday and Monday evening.
