Overlooking one of Edinburgh's prettiest private garden squares, Kimpton Charlotte Square consists of seven interconnecting Georgian townhouses in the heart of the New Town. Our beautifully formed bedrooms and suites are inspired by the golden age of travel and a genuine sense of Scottish hospitality. Sitting proudly in the middle of the hotel is The Garden bar and restaurant, an oasis of calm in the centre of the city. Light and bright during the day for breakfast and lunch, transforming in to a fairy lit hideaway in the evening for cocktails and dinner. Sample our Twilight Tea, a unique take on the classic afternoon tea with a focus on savoury flavours from 12pm to 10pm every day. BABA restaurant is a sumptuous, relaxed journey to the Levant, featuring mezze, charcoal dishes and small plates with bold Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours perfect for sharing. Cocktails take on the adventurous flavours to continue the journey until late in the BABA bar.

We had a short two night stay here and loved it. Hotel is beautiful and the spa was brilliant. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The bar is really nice and we would visit again. The beds are very comfortable and the area is quite especially considering it is in Edinburgh.

Stayed for the 6 Nations. From the moment we walked in we knew it was going to be a great stay. Check in was easy and painless and made to feel welcome. Even though we arrived early, they took our luggage and said it would be delivered to the 3 rooms we had booked and it was. Then into the bar for a couple of pre-match drinks. Great service by the staff and couldn't fault. The rooms were very quiet and well appointed, and the blackout curtains were excellent. The spa was also a lovely treat in the morning. All of the staff we interacted with were great and always made us feel welcome. Happily go back next time we are there.

From the moment my wife and I walked in we were greeted with smiles and great service. The room was very clean and large in size. The breakfast was delicious and perfect way to start each morning. Kimpton was located a block off Princes St and seconds away from a dozen great pubs/ restaurants. We enjoyed the social hour 5-6pm daily although Saturdays during six nations games are busy. We only used the pool, sauna and steam room once but it was fantastic. We regretted not using it more. The only minor issue was our bathroom door in room 210 was squeaky, however I’m sure if I would have said something they would have fixed it immediately. One of the guys on staff with beard / ponytail (forget his name) was especially helpful and provided us great fishing villages to hit on our road trip to st andrews. Each day he wanted to know what we did.

Excellent hotel on a nice square . Spotlessly clean everywhere with very polite/.professional staff. We had a room on the fifth floor which gives good views of the city and the castle. Only minor issue was the amount of time spent waiting for the solitary lift. The stairs got very tiring after a day of exploring! That said we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
