The Chester Residence 9 Rothesay Place Edinburgh EH3 7SL GB

The Chester Residence

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Style Georgian-coated suites

Setting Serene-yet-central West End

Stone steps and iron railings may suggest a vintage-style stay awaits, but inside The Chester Residence lie sleek, modern apartments with clean lines, shades-of-taupe furnishings and a geek’s arsenal of gadgets. Jewel-bright accessories and softly shaded lamps invite you to feel at home; a 24/7 concierge and attentive room service prompt laziness. Edinburgh’s main drag, Princes Street, provides on-your-doorstep shops, sights and sustenance.
