Front view of a large, historic sandstone townhouse with six tall windows, decorative columns, and a white front door decorated with greenery, black iron fence, and stone stairs leading to the entrance.

Set within a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse in the heart of Edinburgh, our four boutique bedrooms offer an intimate and refined place to stay. Each room is individually designed, blending traditional architectural details with understated luxury—think generous proportions, rich textures, and thoughtful comforts that reward slowing down.

Upstairs is calm and considered; downstairs, the house comes alive. Our Michelin-starred restaurant LYLA anchors the building, drawing international guests and locals alike for cooking that is precise, seafood focused, and unmistakably confident. Before dinner our bar offers a more relaxed counterpoint—a place for a perfectly made cocktail, a rare whisky, or a glass of great champagne.

Staying with us means being immersed in one of Edinburgh’s great food destinations, while enjoying the privacy and character of a townhouse that feels more like a private home than a hotel. Discreet, indulgent, and deeply rooted in the city—this is a stay designed for those who notice the details.

Please note; as of July 24th, Edinburgh has put into place a visitor levy which charges 5% on all accommodation. This will be charged on top of your stay, before VAT, at check out.
