Historic club hotel in Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage New Town, offering reciprocal club access worldwide

Amenities & Club Access

The Royal Scots Club grants guests access to a wider network of reciprocal clubs than competitors, extending the stay into a global community. Inside, the members' lounge and library provide spaces for relaxation and socializing, while regular cultural events and lectures are hosted at the club. The hotel also offers access to private gardens for outdoor dining and photographs, complementing the historical significance of the building as a tribute to fallen soldiers of the First World War.

Rooms

Each room is individually styled with traditional decor and offers luxury toiletries as part of the complementary amenities. Some rooms provide views over the rooftops to Fife, and the Four Poster Double rooms include a charming view overlooking the park. The hotel's family suite has a double and two single beds with ample floor space, plus a seating area with chairs and a table.

Dining

The hotel's in-house dining focuses on local Scottish produce, with a smart dining room overlooking Queen Street Gardens. Guests can enjoy complimentary afternoon tea and coffee throughout the day, and private dining options are available that utilize local ingredients and flavors. The bar serves as a spot for evening drinks, and the restaurant offers a full Scottish breakfast and dinner options.

Location

The Royal Scots Club sits in the peaceful New Town district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, within easy walking distance of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery of Modern Art. Queen Street Gardens are directly across the street, providing a quiet backdrop, while shops at the St James centre are 0.5 miles away. The location offers quick access to buses to the airport and is a short walk from the Old Town and major attractions like Edinburgh Castle.

Business & Events

The club provides a dedicated event coordinator for seamless planning of meetings and gatherings, with meeting/banquet facilities available. It targets business professionals seeking effective meeting spaces, and the networking opportunities with a worldwide community of reciprocal clubs add value for corporate guests. The historical setting and private dining options make it a venue for weddings and private events as well.
