A relaxed townhouse duo full of Scottish spirit in the heart of Edinburgh

An Edinburgh boutique hotel like no other, The Roseate Edinburgh combines upscale retreat vibes with an authentic Scottish soul. Together, these two meticulously restored Victorian townhouses – just across the street from each other – create a refined, elegant and relaxed city bolthole. 

Bedrooms are spread across the twin townhouses, and are designed to throw a spotlight on the buildings’ heritage. Warm tweeds, rich velvets and printed wallpapers add plenty of character, while freestanding baths, artisanal treats and fluffy robes dial up the comfort – and romance. If you want to kick back outside your bedroom, the bar and lounge keep things elegant yet relaxed. Whisky lovers need look no further: the bar’s vintage whisky cabinet is full of rare delights, while the all-day menu serves up classic Scottish dishes with a signature twist.

Outside, the city’s Old Town awaits. A gentle stroll from the hotel will take you to Edinburgh Castle, while the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is just an amble along the Water of Leith. Adventurers might like to up the pace and tackle Arthur’s Seat for far-reaching Highland views, before returning to enjoy a wee dram in front of the fire in your Edinburgh home-from-home.  
 

Enjoy your stay!

The Dunstane Houses Afternoon Tea

Tradition with a twist

It might be an English tradition, but afternoon tea at The Roseate Edinburgh is given a singularly Scottish spin. Served in the cosy lounge, the spread includes treats such as Scottish preserves, Orkney cheddar finger sandwiches and fine whole-leaf teas from a St Andrew’s based tea company. For ultimate indulgence, pick a gin from the bar’s vast artisan selection to pair with your cakes.   
 
The Dunstane Houses Whiskey

The taste of Scotland

If you struggle to tell a single malt from a blend – or are simply curious about Scottish artisan spirits – settle in for a whisky or gin tasting in the cosy surroundings of the bar. Let the experts take you on a whistle-stop tasting tour of Orkney’s gins or Scotland’s whisky regions. Foodies can discover how to pair whisky with cheese, while would-be mixologists can learn to stir (and never shake) the perfect martini.

Unique and cosy stay not far from the city

We really enjoyed spending time at the Roseate. From the welcoming arrival to the cosy room with a view (I'd recommend asking for that) to the great breakfast and uniquely scottish elements. It's an old house and one should expect the quirks that come with it, but we absolutely enjoyed it and talked Read more[SPLIT]Read lessabout coming back already. Only downside is the loud road at the front of the house and construction work happening right now – which should be temporary.

A perfect escape

This was our first holiday after the covid lockdowns and we were, frankly, exhausted and burnt out. Our stay at The Dunstane Houses was just the escape we needed. Near enough to the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh that we were never lacking something to do, but removed and quiet enough to allow us to Read more[SPLIT]Read lessretreat to our rooms and truly rest. We feel luck to have had a room on the back side of the Hampton House, which was quiet as a church and so comfortable. Each morning, we woke only to the sound of birds in the trees outside. A breakfast of porridge and fruit in the downstairs dining room was the perfect start to every day - I wish I could eat breakfast there every day forever! I cannot emphasize enough how badly we needed a peaceful escape, nor how wonderfully The Dunstane Houses met that need. Thank you! We will definitely be back.
