Some of our favourite facts about our hotel:
💙 Our iconic building - constructed from around 1898–1900 in a grand Renaissance-Revival cream-sandstone style. Originally operating as a glamorous department store (Patrick Thomson’s or PT’s as it was known) it was famous for its pneumatic tube cash systems, a children's shoe X-ray machine, live afternoon tea performances by a string and Palm Court orchestra, and a magical Christmas grotto.
💙Our location - situated on North Bridge we sit directly between Edinburgh's historic Old Town and the newer Georgian areas, bridging the two halves of the city.
💙 Our rooms - following a recent renovation, our bedrooms have never felt cosier - they are exactly what you want to come home to after a busy day of exploring.
💙Our gin - distilled especially for us by the fabulous Summerhall Distillery, our very own Conductor's Batch features in a number of incredible cocktails and is even available to buy as the ultimate souvenir 🍸
