The morning unfolds without hurry. Light moves across pale stone walls. A freestanding bath draws the eye toward the mirror and the city beyond, its frame edged in rich walnut. Napiers Edinburgh amenities sit waiting on marble. This is the sensibility that shaped The Edinburgh Grand, set on vibrant St Andrew Square in the beautifully restored former headquarters of one of Scotland’s most prestigious banks, reimagined as a refined urban retreat.
Each of the hotel’s 50 elegantly appointed rooms and suites ranges from studios to an impressive three bedroom penthouse, yet all share a particular philosophy: that luxury means room to breathe. Rooms and suites pair original architectural details with contemporary luxury, creating an elegant home from home in the heart of the city. Many feature a fully equipped kitchen, dedicated dining area and comfortable living space for cooking, dining, relaxing and enjoying Edinburgh at your own pace, whether staying for a night, a weekend or a little longer.
The bathroomdesigned in this image, with its sculptural white stone and brass taps, typifies the considered restraint that runs through the property. A large mirror catches afternoon light. Separate spaces mean you live here, not merely occupy.
A retreat for residents, not visitors
Dogs are warmly welcomed at The Edinburgh Grand, with spacious suites offering plenty of room to settle in after a day discovering the city together. The Register Club serves afternoon tea; the Wandering Barman crafts bespoke cocktails in suite, and the Spa offers signature treatments and curated wellness journeys, all moments from the city’s iconic landmarks.
The Edinburgh Grand sits on St Andrew Square in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, a twenty minute walk from the Royal Mile. Book through the hotel’s website or through Marriott’s Luxury Collection reservations.
