Our take
This hotel suits golfers who appreciate a luxurious city experience alongside their rounds, particularly those who enjoy vibrant dining and entertainment options on-site. It is well-suited for couples or small groups looking to balance golf with cultural exploration. Those seeking a quiet, secluded golf resort directly on a course might find its urban setting less ideal, but for an Edinburgh golf trip, it offers a compelling blend of comfort and convenience.
- Book your tee times well in advance, especially for popular courses around Edinburgh, as demand is high during peak season.
- Consider using public transport or taxis for golf course transfers; the hotel's central location makes city navigation simple.
- Explore the Royal Mile and National Museum of Scotland on your non-golf days, both are just a short walk from the hotel.
