About the Hotel
Important - The Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – The Caledonian has recently been renamed to The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton. The Caledonian Edinburgh is currently undergoing renovation expected to be completed early 2025. The transformation of the hotel is already well underway and is taking place over a phased approach to ensure we can continue to operate as business as usual.
The Caledonian Edinburgh is one of Edinburgh's most significant and recognizable landmarks. Standing proudly at the west end of Princes Street, the heart of the capital, its reputation for style and excellence has attracted generations of locals, international visitors and notable personalities for over one hundred years. Built in 1903 and formerly part of the grand Caledonian Railway, the hotel is full of memories, including Peacock Alley which represents the historic heart, once the station concourse and ticket office. Surround yourself with heritage and over 100 years of hospitality, and become part of our story.

Reviews for The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
Quick trip to Edinburgh and St Andrew’s
Rooms were lovely but heating was insufficient. The location is good with a brisk walk to the best shopping. Great location for general touring, castle and historical sites. Restaurant and bar(s) were excellent. We had a dinner, but no breakfast. The options were varied, plenty for everyone.

A wonderful hotel with brilliant staff
Everything went wonderfully. We stayed for two nights and were kindly given an upgrade since it was my partner’s 30th. The room was a brilliant size and we had great views of the castle. All the staff were super friendly, particularly in the restaurants. We also went for a spa treatment and cannot fault neither the treatment nor the staff — both were fantastic.

A wonderful festive stay
We stayed here to attend the local Christmas Market in mid-December and were not disappointed. The hotel itself is situated a short walk from all major attractions, making it the ideal location. From the warm welcome we received on check in, to the friendly team in the spa and the delicious hot chocolate provided in the bedrooms, everything was superb. I would like to thank the young lady in the restaurant who was patient with my wife, (who unfortunately has early onset dementia), when she got confused and stressed when in the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Awful
We were early which is fine. Concierge dealt with parking our car admirably. Checkin was woeful even after 3pm. No cups or glasses, pitiful experience, not 1 star even. Wish we had chosen better but we thought the star rating the hotel gave itself would count. We forgot that Hilton would hold the draw card. Beautiful building but terrible experience especially the high price. Awful.

Lovely Stay
We recently returned to the Caledonian. A very warm welcome on arrival and as a Hilton Honors guest benefitted from an upgrade. The hotel was very clean throughout and our room was lovely. Two areas for some improvement based on our previous visits the service is the Caley Bar was not attentive the staff were standing at the bar chatting, at breakfast they had lots of staff and it was quiet but we waited a long time for our coffee - otherwise a fantastic stay we will be back.
