Hotel
Directions

Braid Hills Hotel is a traditional Edinburgh hotel set on a leafy hillside in the south of the city, offering wide panoramic views across Edinburgh, the Pentland Hills, and the surrounding green landscape. Its slightly elevated location gives it a quieter, more residential feel while still being within a short drive or bus ride of the city centre.

The hotel features a mix of classic rooms and event spaces, with interiors that lean towards a more traditional, comfortable style rather than modern boutique design. Many rooms take advantage of the elevated position, offering scenic outlooks over the city skyline, which is one of its main draws for guests. The property also includes a restaurant and bar serving classic dishes, as well as spaces used for weddings and events.

What makes Braid Hills Hotel stand out is its setting and views. Unlike centrally located hotels, it offers a peaceful escape from the busy Old Town and Princes Street areas, making it a good option for travellers who prefer a quieter base. Its hillside position also makes it especially popular for those who want a more scenic, relaxed stay in Edinburgh while still staying well connected to the main attractions.
