Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel
A modern hotel in the Old Town with views up to the castle.
Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel is a smart, modern base in the Old Town, steps from the Grassmarket and within sight of the castle. It is contemporary, efficient and very well placed, the sort of hotel that makes a city break easy.
Booked for my clients: contemporary comfort in the heart of the Old Town.
Where you’ll be
The hotel sits just west of the Grassmarket, the old market square below the castle rock that is now full of pubs and restaurants. Victoria Street's colorful curve, the Royal Mile and the National Museum of Scotland are all a short walk away.
The stay
Rooms are contemporary and comfortable, with some looking up toward Edinburgh Castle. Service is friendly and professional, and the hotel works as well for a weekend as it does for a few days on either side of a Highlands tour.

Make the most of it

When to go
May to September brings long, light evenings. August is festival month, lively but busy, so book early; December is magical for Christmas markets and Hogmanay.
