Located only 1.4 km from the parish church "St Giles' Cathedral", the wonderful 5-star Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa Edinburgh welcomes guests with various recreational opportunities and a golf course, as well as views of Edinburgh Castle. With the Retreat Thai Spa nearly 5 minutes on foot from and a sporting attraction like BT Murrayfield Sports Stadium about a 10-minute drive away, the smoke-free hotel boasts a Turkish steam room, a solarium, a hot tub, and a sauna.
Location
This Edinburgh hotel features a setting next to the financial district of Edinburgh and the spirelike Victorian memorial "Scott Monument" is just 1.3 km away. Standing a mere 6 minutes on foot from Edinburgh Gin Distillery, the exclusive Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is a short way from the Grassmarket.
Nature lovers might as well enjoy proximity to Dean, located only 1.3 km away. The nearby entertainment attractions of Edinburgh include Edinburgh International Book Festival, which is merely a 9-minute walk away.
The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa Edinburgh is near a train station and Semple Street bus stop is 200 metres away.
Rooms
Enjoying views of Edinburgh Castle, the rooms come with wireless internet and a satellite flat-screen TV and such self-catering options as a mini-bar and tea/coffee making equipment. There is also a private bathroom. Bedrooms at Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa include mood lighting, along with furniture items like a wardrobe. The air-conditioned rooms with a view of the city are also available.
Eat & Drink
Guests can enjoy time in the lounge bar. Shakespeare is located next to the accommodation and serves British dishes, approximately a 5-minute stroll away.
Leisure & Business
The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa offers options for sports and relaxation in a full spa and a wellness area or in a fitness studio. Onsite options for relaxation include a head massage, a back massage, and a Thai massage as well as an indoor pool with a hot tub.
“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.”

inconvenient amenity pink cloth
the location proved advantageous, being near key attractions.
the ev charging point was out of order upon arrival, this being inconvenient as i chose this hotel partly for that amenity. furthermore, i discovered that the large samsung tv was not connected to the internet, so i could not stream content from my devices. the pink cleaning cloth left behind also detracted from the experience.

excellent stay!
castle view attentive staff
The room faced the usher hall and had views of the castle. the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. This was my second visit. it was a quick walk down the hall to the spa. the staff were attentive and polite, attending to a few errors quickly.
The choices for breakfast were limited, though included in the room price. service during breakfast at peak times was slow. my deposit also has not been released even after ten days of checking out. This feels very old-fashioned

underwhelming experience
extra charge limited choice
I was quite disappointed with my stay. the extra charge for bringing a coke to the room felt excessive. I paid £2.50 for the coke and then an additional £5 for room service. the club upgrade advertised tea, coffee, soft drinks, and snacks all day, but food was only available during happy hour. the alcohol choice was limited, consisting of basic branded alcohol, a couple of wines, and two beers..
