W Edinburgh

W Edinburgh occupies a prominent position in the St James Quarter, within walking distance of Princes Street, the Old Town and many of the capital’s central attractions. The hotel is spread across three buildings rather than a single conventional tower, giving different room categories noticeably different character.

The 244 rooms include 45 suites and range from contemporary spaces in the new buildings to more intimate accommodations inside a Georgian townhouse. Many premium rooms and suites add terraces with views toward Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill or Arthur’s Seat.

The rooftop is a defining feature. W Lounge and the W Deck take advantage of broad city views, making the hotel particularly appealing around sunset, while AWAY Spa provides treatment rooms and a more restorative side of the stay.

SUSHISAMBA is the headline restaurant, combining Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian influences high above the city. Joao’s Place and the W Lounge add cocktail and social spaces without forcing guests into the busiest parts of Edinburgh at night.

W Edinburgh is ideal for travelers who want a modern luxury hotel with a strong sense of occasion. Its rooftop views, unusual three-building layout and central location distinguish it from the city’s more traditional grand hotels.
