Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood

Rooms and facilities

All 160 bedrooms are en-suite. Guests can use the heated indoor pool, around 14 metres long, and a fitness centre at no extra charge. The Holyrood Spa adds a relaxation room, a UV sauna and ELEMIS treatments, which is welcome after a day climbing the Royal Mile or Arthur's Seat. The pool is a real bonus for families with children who need to burn off energy after sightseeing.

Eating in

Arti & Alba is the hotel's restaurant, with a Scottish-Italian menu, and its bar serves cocktails. Breakfast is a buffet. If you want to eat out, the Royal Mile pubs and restaurants are a few minutes uphill. Having a restaurant and bar on site also helps on wet evenings when you would rather not walk back up the hill.

Location

The hotel is about 15 minutes' walk from Waverley Station and Princes Street. Dynamic Earth is across the road, and the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace are a short stroll away, so it suits visitors who want the bottom of the Royal Mile and Holyrood Park on the doorstep. There is no airport shuttle; the airport is roughly 14 km away. Drivers benefit from being at the edge of the Old Town rather than in its narrow streets.
