4-star boutique hotel in a historic Georgian townhouse near Edinburgh's Royal Mile
Dining
The Salisbury Hotel houses Spencer's Bistro, an independently run restaurant that uses local ingredients. The hotel also offers a hidden shisha garden on-site for a unique leisure experience. A complimentary full Scottish breakfast is served each morning, with diverse options included in the room rate.
Rooms
The hotel has 18 beautifully decorated bedrooms, each named with character-rich names instead of numbers. Some rooms contain four-poster beds, and all retain original Georgian architectural features like large windows and high ceilings. Family rooms are available with spacious layouts designed for both adults and children.

The Salisbury Hotel sits in the quiet residential area of Newington, one mile from Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile. Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat are within a 5-minute drive, and bus stops 40 metres away provide regular links to the city centre. Limited free parking is available for guests on the property.
Services
Rooms come with high-quality Duck Island toiletries and daily housekeeping. The hotel provides express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a 24-hour front desk security system with CCTV. Guests receive a complimentary full Scottish breakfast, and the accommodation is family-friendly with designated family rooms.
Unique Features
Each room is individually designed and given a distinctive name, offering a boutique experience in a historic setting. The hotel's hidden shisha garden provides an alternative leisure space not found in most Edinburgh accommodations. Spencer's Bistro serves dishes made from local ingredients, adding a dining option separate from standard hotel fare.
