Featuring a restaurant, the wonderful 5-star Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa Edinburgh is located only 1.4 km from the Edinburgh Old Town and overlooks Edinburgh Castle. There is a train station near the smoke-free hotel, and guests can easily reach Edinburgh Gin Distillery which is merely a 6-minute stroll away.

Location

This Edinburgh hotel is nestled next to the financial district of Edinburgh and only a few steps from Traverse Theatre. The Parish Church of St Cuthbert is just 550 metres from the exclusive Sheraton, while Edinburgh airport is 5 km from it.

The art museum "Scottish National Gallery" is also situated nearly a 15-minute walk away.

The Exchange bus stop is located nearby, within minutes of the wonderful Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa.

Rooms

Some rooms overlook Edinburgh Castle and are fitted with Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as such self-catering conveniences as a mini-fridge-bar, tea and coffee making facilities. They are outfitted with elegant decor. Guests can also enjoy views of the castle.

Eat & Drink

The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind. In close proximity to the Sheraton Edinburgh, Ryan's Bar serves British meals.

Leisure & Business

The accommodation has a heated swimming pool and a health club. Also, at the hotel, guests can take advantage of a golf playground provided onsite. Spa options at Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa include a full spa and a wellness centre along with a steam room, a hot tub, and a sauna.

“In my opinion, this hotel strikes a chord with its blend of luxury and practicality, particularly for families or those seeking a restful vacation in the city. The updated rooms with castle views are worth the splurge, even if some decor elements feel a touch dated. The spa access elevates the stay, with the rooftop hydro pool offering a memorable experience, but I would recommend considering whether the added cost aligns with the overall value you seek.”
