The Scott, Edinburgh

Dining & Bar

Bonnar's, the on-site restaurant, serves Scottish cuisine inspired by local flavors under Head Chef Pier Berretta. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the private garden, and the dining room reflects the 18th-century baronial house architecture. The Velvet Lounge offers a curated selection of spirits, including specialty Gins, Champagnes, and Whiskies, with a wine list selected by L'Art Du Vin.

Rooms & Design

The 37 rooms are each uniquely designed, with no two alike, blending modern amenities with historic charm. Beds feature Elite™ Lily mattresses and fine linens. Bathrooms are stocked with Laura Thomas spa products, fluffy towels, bathrobes, and slippers; rooms also include OPAL capsule coffee machines with Coffee Conscience compostable pods and award-winning Novus teas.
