Convenient Edinburgh city centre location
Location map of the hotel
Edinburgh City Hotel is known as one of Edinburgh’s best kept secrets, a quirky 3 star hotel in the very heart of Edinburgh city centre. A secret also because of its remarkably quiet, yet very central location so that you do escape much of the Edinburgh city centre noise and hurly-burly. The hotel is steeped in tradition and history, yet cool and contemporary. This hotel has been restored in the last decade as ‘Simpsons’(as it was formerly known)
‘Location can't be beaten - the hotel is close to all the attractions’
from a Trip Advisor traveller review
Surrounded by the very best of Edinburgh, close to all the major attractions including Edinburgh Castle, Prince Street shopping, the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace, and great new modern attractions at Edinburgh Quayside and the ‘Quarter Mile’. Close to the resurgent Grassmarket and Edinburgh Old Town area, full of great pubs, boutique shops and restaurants - the hotel is ideal for those who enjoy cafes and bars. Only a few minutes walk from Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) and within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s top theatres (including the Edinburgh International Festival Theatre), world class museums and art galleries
The city's financial district is nearby also, making Edinburgh City Hotel an ideal base in Central Edinburgh from which to ‘work or play’
Built in 1879, the original Memorial Hospital dedicated to Sir James Young Simpson, a splendid building, now transformed into a modern, very appealing, central yet quietly located 3 star Edinburgh city hotel with 52 modern comfortable bedrooms each with a little individual character and all the facilities you can expect in a quality hotel
