About the Hotel

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.

Reviews for Kimpton Charlotte Square

Satisfactory Stay but some room for Improvement

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Stayed at the hotel for one night. The valet parking service was very convenient and the information for arrival and departure excellent. Our IHG rewards level was mentioned at check-in however we seem to be downgraded rather than upgraded. We did not accept the first courtyard facing room as we had reserved a “New Town View”room. We were upgraded without fuss, however it left wondering why that was not done on check in. We only had breakfast so cannot comment on the evening or lunch dining. The service in the bar as excellent and the staff had a good knowledge of whisky choices. Breakfast was good with a reasonable selection of products on the buffet although a few more options for delivery to the table would have been helpful. The final selection on was a junior suite. De cor a little austere but the room as large with views across the square. Bathroom was bijou but did have bath and an over bath shower.

Simply perfection.

If you're looking for an exceptional hotel in an equally exceptional location in Edinburgh look no further. A short walk to everywhere you could want to visit in Edinburgh. Celebrating my partner Charlotte's(!) 40th for a few days, we can't rate this masterclass of a hotel highly enough. This opinion comes from 2 people working in the events industry so experience the very best and sometimes the worst hotels worldwide. From the initial welcome, the very clean and cosy atmosphere, wonderful amenities and extremely high standard of accommodation, to the fantastic service and friendliness of the entire team (reception, concierge, bar staff, breakfast staff) the Kimpton has provided us with one of our most favourite breaks away ever. The warm and friendly service provided that of a small boutique hotel, smiles and warm welcomes at any point throughout the hotel. To say you feel welcomed as a valued guest quickly became more of a feeling of 'coming home' after some daily chilly walks around Edinburgh and one climb up to Arthur's Seat! Breakfast was plentiful and of a fantastic standard, complimented by the super friendly staff that couldn't do enough for you and likewise the 'happy hours' between 5pm and 6pm with a range of complimentary drinks in the beautiful bar area were made even more enjoyable by the wonderful bar staff. The most sincere thanks to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We already can't wait to return and will certainly be recommending you to any family and friends that we know are visiting your fantastic city.

Such an amazing stay. I was there with my boyfriend after a work trip. Staff was so friendly, we were within walking distance to Old Town, and we really enjoyed the bar/restaurants on site. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again.

An Edinburgh Gem on Charlotte Square

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Loved our weekend stay here! The hotel is located on a beautiful quiet square overlooking a private park. It's a residential area with many elegant Georgian style townhomes. In keeping with the Kimpton brand, the decor was eclectic and beautiful and the Happy Hour was enjoyable. Staff couldn't have been more helpful! We enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfasts at their in house restaurant which is quite the scene on a Saturday night! You are not far from Old Town Edinburgh which can be reached by a short Uber ride or a longer walk. We were very happy with this choice and would definitey stay here again!

I had the best stay here! The staff is amazing, welcoming and helpful. The location is 🤩 We were going there for a short trip, and everything was within 10-15 mins walking distance - absolutely vital when you want to be time efficient! The hotel and the roomes were very clean and neat.. what more can I say! Will definitely not be my last stay here 🫶🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
