Point A Hotel Edinburgh, St Andrew Square

Discover Edinburgh from one of its most iconic central addresses at Point A Hotel Edinburgh St Andrew Square, located in a landmark Category A listed building on prestigious St Andrew Square. Perfectly positioned for city breaks, the hotel places guests within easy walking distance of Waverley Station, the bus station, Princes Street, George Street, and many of Edinburgh’s leading attractions, shops, restaurants and cultural landmarks.

The 206-room hotel offers a unique blend of contemporary hospitality and historic architecture, with many rooms enjoying views across St Andrew Square Gardens, Edinburgh Castle and the elegant New Town skyline. Interiors follow Point A’s latest design concept inspired by the Danish principle of hygge — creating warm, calm and comfortable spaces through layered textures, soft lighting and highly functional layouts designed for modern city stays.

The redevelopment carefully celebrates the heritage of the building, originally designed by renowned Scottish architect Sir Basil Spence, best known for Coventry Cathedral. Several striking original features have been preserved and restored, including the dramatic entrance lobby, a sculptural helix staircase surrounding a cylindrical stainless-steel lift shaft, and impressive full-height marble and granite wall finishes, giving guests a strong sense of place from the moment you arrive. Sustainability is also central to the hotel’s design, with heating, cooling and hot water supplied through high-efficiency air source heat pumps, supporting a more energy-conscious stay in the city.

Whether visiting for shopping, sightseeing, festivals or business, Point A Hotel Edinburgh St Andrew Square offers an efficient, stylish and exceptionally central base for exploring Edinburgh.
