Overview

Photos
The Edinburgh City is best known as one of Edinburgh's best kept secrets, in the very heart of Edinburgh. A classic privately owned one of two Edinburgh hotels within the Portland Hotels collection of 3 star hotels exclusively in Scotland. Steeped with tradition and history, yet cool and contemporary this hotel has been restored in the last decade as 'Simpsons', (as it was formerly fondly known).Just a few minutes from the great Scottish Capital's famous city centre and principal financial and business districts, the Edinburgh City is an ideal base in Central Edinburgh from which to 'work or play'. 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, full of great pubs, boutique shops and restaurants, and Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) within easy walking distance of Edinburgh's top theatres, world class museums and art galleries. The hotel also provides bar, doctor on call, dry cleaning, wireless internet, laundry service, lift/elevator, lobby, non-smoking rooms, reception, restaurant, room service and smoke free hotel.
