The Scotsman Hotel is set in the Victorian building which housed the offices of The Scotsman newspaper for more than 100 years. Located on North Bridge Bridge between the Princes Street shopping area and the Royal Mile, the hotel is within sight of Waverley Railway station. Each room is different, but all are decorated in modern neutral colors with traditional Scottish tweeds as the unifying theme. Rooms have privacy hatches, so room service can be delivered without disturbing guests, as well as computers with Internet access and an Edinburgh monopoly board table.
In the North Bridge Brasserie guests and non-residents can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner from a varied menu, in a striking setting that contrasts original marble pillars and wood paneling with new steel flooring and a striking metal staircase. The Vermilion restaurant and its adjacent bar offer a more relaxed setting to focus on the the modern European menu and wine list. The bar houses some 399 malt whiskies. The hotel's health club and swimming pool offer a chance to burn off some of those calories.
