Destiny Scotland Royal Mile Residence, Edinburgh
Serviced apartments just off the Royal Mile.
Sometimes the best hotel is an apartment. Destiny Scotland's Royal Mile Residence gives you a serviced home of your own just off the Old Town's most famous street, with the space and kitchen that families and longer stays really need.
Booked for my clients who want space and a kitchen, especially families and longer stays.
Where you’ll be
The Royal Mile runs from Edinburgh Castle down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and the Residence puts you right in the middle of it. Closes and courtyards, whisky shops and historic pubs are all on your doorstep, with the New Town an easy walk across the valley.
The stay
These are serviced apartments, so you get proper living rooms, fitted kitchens and more square footage than a typical Old Town hotel room, with the support of a professional team behind the scenes. It is a practical, comfortable base for exploring rather than a full-service hotel.
