About this property

5* Luxury Suite Central Edinburgh stunning views of Edinburgh Castle!

Still available dates for next years Edinburgh International Festival in this Stunning city- centre apartment with amazing views of Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh. This is an amazing opportunity to be at the heart of the action for both the largest arts festival in the world, The Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh's Christmas & Hogmanay celebrations. Just minutes walk from the main venues and cultural/historical attractions, German markets, ice rink and big wheel etc for the festive hols, and surrounded by the best shopping, bars and restaurants, this is all about location, location, location! Pleasant walks can be enjoyed nearby along the Water of Leith walkway, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens while there is convenient road access to the west leading to the city bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and central Scotland’s motorway network. Waverley Train Station is also within a short walk.

This 5 star luxury apartment has unprecedented views of Edinburgh castle and commands an extremely central location on the corner of fashionable George Street and North Castle Street. Surrounded by leading stores such as Harvey Nichol's and great restaurants and bars. It is decorated and furnished to the highest standards.

One of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! Two bedrooms - one master, (with super king-size divan) and stunning castle views. The single bedroom (but large enough for two with a single/trundle bed that coverts to an additional single) has a very comfy new bed with good length. Both bedrooms are newly equipped with acoustic glazing, so extremely quite from the street noise below.

large elegant lounge with two large windows, contemporary furnishings and decor with two comfortable sofas and a marble dining table with chairs for six with matching consul and side tables. There is a large Sony flat screen TV with access to Sky and Apple television.

State of the art Kitchen and Bathroom ( with under floor heating & steam enclosure) - limestone throughout: Fully fitted contemporary, luxury kitchen with everything you would expect of a 5 star property and bathroom. Double ended bath and steam shower, under-floor heating and limestone wet-room.

The property comes with access to the beautiful private gardens on Queen Street (residents only), just two minutes from the front door, which provides the most perfect oasis in the heart of the city. I use it for my limited jogging circuit when I'm in residence, as it's perfectly manicured and also entirely geared up for secure doggie walking. Wonderful in the Summer for festival picnics and reading the papers of a morning.

Christmas and Hogmanay (Scotlands' New Year Celebrations) also bring their own added attractions, with new events planned on George Street every year; Xmas markets and a wonderful sparkly atmosphere, enhanced by the beautiful festive street lighting. There is still availability for Christmas and Hogmanay 2023/24! The celebrations have evolved into a world class event over the years with a full daily programme designed to appeal to all tastes and age groups in the heart of the city and literally just minutes walk from the door step. Fancy a change of scene in one of the most historically beautiful city's in the world - book now to avoid disappointment! Please refer to bookings calendar for availability.

We have two luxury apartments in the building, both with the same elevation and stunning views of Edinburgh Castle. The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite ( below this one) has a more retro feel, but with classical over tones, especially in the master bedroom and kitchen. Please do contact us to enquire about a dual apartment booking, when we can offer a special rate for larger groups, special occasions, wedding parties etc.

Morris was excellent and quick to respond to any enquiry.Flat is bang in the centre of Edinburgh and hard to imagine a property of this quality anywhere better situated.Steam shower a real treat with fantastic water pressure.My wife and I are 73 and 72 respectively and the stairs up to the flat were initially a bit tiring, but we got used to the ascent fairly quickly. Lots of character in this 200 year old building, overall it is as described, a luxury flat.

Outstanding location in New Town and a short walk to Old Town and to/from the train station (15 min) and the tram (10 min). Tons of room, including the bathroom. Super clean and comfy. Much better value than any hotel room.
