Close to the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, Hotel Indigo Edinburgh pairs stylish, individually designed rooms with desk space that suits business travellers, plus a gym and free Wi-Fi.
Each room has a flat-screen satellite TV, air conditioning and a bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries.
Location & Transport
The hotel sits at the top of Leith Walk near the Playhouse, a short walk from St Andrew Square, Edinburgh Bus Station and the tram stop, with Waverley Station a little beyond. That makes it an easy arrival point whether you come in by air, coach or train, and puts the shops of Princes Street and George Street within a few minutes’ stroll.
Rooms & Price
Rooms lean boutique rather than budget-basic, with bold local-themed design, air conditioning, satellite TV and good desk space for working. The on-site Twenty Princes Street restaurant, led by chef Elzane Louwrens, draws locals as well as guests, and the Juniper bar is one of the few rooftop-style spots with a genuine view of Edinburgh Castle.
Who It Suits
A strong choice for business travellers and couples who want boutique styling and a central location without a five-star price. The desks, gym and meeting-friendly setting suit work trips, while the castle-view bar makes it feel like a treat for a city break.
Practical Tips
- Book a higher floor for the best chance of a castle or city outlook.
- The Juniper bar has castle views, worth timing for sunset.
- Parking is nearby rather than on-site; ask reception for the closest option.
- St Andrew Square tram and bus links are a short walk for airport arrivals.
- Desks and Wi-Fi make it practical for a working stay.
