At a glance

Comprising seven interconnected Georgian townhouses on one of Edinburgh’s most handsome private garden squares, Kimpton Charlotte Square is a hotel with real character, where a classical New Town address meets a lively and contemporary atmosphere.

At its heart is a glass-topped central courtyard that hums with the energy of the city, drawing guests, locals, and professionals alike.

Rooms and suites balance the building’s period proportions with relaxed, residential comfort, while No. 33 Charlotte Square offers an entirely private townhouse option for those wanting something more exclusive. The spa brings serious wellness credentials, including the Swell Sound Wellness Room, a notable point of difference among Edinburgh’s luxury hotels. BABA, the hotel’s signature restaurant, delivers Middle Eastern cooking with Scottish ingredients, while The Garden provides a greener, more relaxed setting for drinks and lighter meals.
