The Royal Scots Club provides a lovely ambience, although we had large suitcases and would have appreciated a lift rather than having to haul our luggage up the stairs.

An outstanding lodging property with the highest representation of Old-World tradition, Scottish charm and social grace. A rich, unique heritage and glowing patina envelopes this Georgian masterpiece. Close to everything. Dining at the club is an experience of delicious old-school cookery and hospitality. Immaculate, quiet elegance coupled with unmatched service - thank you Miss Georgia - make a stay at the RSC a superb choice when in Edinburgh.
