Our story

A townhouse built for Edinburgh's hill

Calton Hill House stands where Edinburgh's New Town meets its highest viewpoint, a short walk from Waverley station. The twelve rooms keep their original Georgian cornicing, each paired with a rainfall shower and a view of the hill or the old town.

Reception stays open around the clock, so however late your train gets in, someone is here to open the door.
