Built in 1848, the elegant and luxurious hotel is the ideal place
for both holidaymakers and business travellers and ably combines
tradition with modern facilities. A modern extension has been
built, which ideally complements the Georgian architecture of the
terrace building. Guests may treat themselves to international,
British, and Scottish delicacies prepared by the famous head chef
in the Melrose restaurant. On offer in the hotel are a total of 197
rooms, and facilities include a lobby area with a reception desk
manned around the clock, a safe for depositing valuables, and a
cloakroom. Guests may also take advantage of the Melrose lounge and
atrium, the Consort bar, the pre-function bar, the room and laundry
services, the Internet access, and the George Suite for conferences
and other events.
Rooms
The rooms in both the modern extension and the Georgian wing are
wonderfully appointed. Superb decoration, a comfortable working
area with an Internet connection, an en suite bathroom, satellite
TV, a direct dial telephone, an extra telephone socket, personal
voicemail, a welcome tray, and a hairdryer are only a part of the
room fittings. All guest rooms are non-smoking.
Restaurant & Food
A full Scottish breakfast is available every morning and those
wishing for something lighter can enjoy pastries or a cafe latte in
the lounge. Snacks are available throughout the day with dinner
served from the extensive menu in the evening.
Activities & Sport
The hotel's wide leisure offerings range from an indoor swimming
pool to a sauna, solarium and steam room as well as a professional

Comments
The heart of Edinburgh, Charlotte Square, was designed by the
famous Georgian architect Robert Adam. The hotel is also one of his
designs. Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is before 11 am. Car
parking is available onsite for a limited number of cars. This must
be pre-booked prior to arrival and is payable on departure from the
hotel.
Directions, How to get
there
Take the M8 to Edinburgh from Glasgow. Follow signs for the city
centre (A8). As one approaches Princes Street, the House of Fraser
department store is on the left-hand side. Keep in the left lane,
drive through the 1st set of traffic lights, and immediately after
there is a 2nd set of traffic lights. Turn left onto South
Charlotte street and the hotel is on the right-hand side just after
the next set of traffic lights.
