About


Named, 'Scotland’s Most Romantic Hotel' by Scotland on Sunday, The Witchery by the Castle offers an enchanting experience that seamlessly weaves history and culinary excellence together.

Situated within the confines of a sixteenth-century merchant's house, The Witchery has earned its status as an iconic Edinburgh establishment. Frequented by locals, city visitors, and even celebrities, it's a destination that beckons with its unique charm and extraordinary dining offerings, not to mention the 9 unique, romantic and luxuriously gothic suites.

Operating throughout the day, from noon until the last reservation at 10.30 pm, The Witchery lets you choose between two distinctive dining rooms. The Original Dining Room, steeped in the ambiance of 16th-century oak panelling and illuminated solely by candlelight, captivates with its old-world charm. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the elegance of The Secret Garden Dining Room, another candlelit haven with antique oak paneling and tapestries. The historic stone walls and intricately painted ceilings in both rooms narrate tales of a building that spans five centuries.

Our menu pays homage to time-honoured dishes, reflecting the rich history of our surroundings. Indulge in classics like the Scotch Beef Ribeye Steak with Béarnaise Sauce, Omelette Arnold Bennet, Lobster Thermidor, and Pink Lady Apple Tart Tatin, to name just a few.

For an unforgettable stay, our suites radiate an unparalleled sense of romance. Often featured on lists of the world's most unique places to stay, they provide the perfect backdrop for creating cherished memories with your loved one. Celebrated as one of the seven wonders of the hotel world by Cosmopolitan Magazine our 9 unique suites scream romance with a capital 'R'. Indulge in the ultimate romantic getaway as you discover the delights of four-poster beds and roll-top baths made for two!
