The Scott

Named after Alexander Scott, the original owner of the baronial house built in 1780, The Scott is a luxury hotel which still boasts many of its original features, including the spectacular Red Room Bar, grand dining room, fireplaces, ornately carved wood paneling and stained glass windows.

With no two rooms the same, the 36 junior suites and deluxe bedrooms blend modern luxury with the grandeur and grace of the original building. All bedrooms feature Elite™ Lily mattresses and the highest quality duvets, pillows and bed linen to ensure the best possible night’s sleep. The luxury experience is completed with beautifully designed en-suite bathrooms, including fluffy towels and isgha spa products.

You will join us for breakfast in our elegant dining room, where the floor to ceiling windows look out to the hotel’s private garden, and you can relax in our cosy Red Room Bar. Alternatively, our Scholar Restaurant and Bar lounge are situated in The Scholar Hotel next door, offering an informal evening a la carte service, with a menu packed with the finest ingredients Scotland has to offer.

Located in the leafy Southside of Edinburgh, the hotel offers a peaceful and tranquil setting surrounded by mature gardens. It’s just a stone’s throw from the sights, sounds and stories of captivating Edinburgh, which makes The Scott the perfect place to relax after exploring Scotland’s wonderful Capital City.

The Scott is a part of The University of Edinburgh Hospitality & Events Collection - the surplus made from your bookings with us is always reinvested in the University of Edinburgh.
