Opulent basecamp The Hoxton, Edinburgh brings the brand’s hallmark panache to the Caledonian city’s West End. Behind its Georgian townhouse façade (11 of them to be exact) are contemporary, pastel-hued bedrooms and colour-washed social spaces. Its mod-Italian trattoria looks to Sorrento for inspiration, but this Hoxton is deeply connected to its locale through regional suppliers, charity partners and its position on the fringes of Edinburgh’s central hits. The local community just got that bit cooler.

Our favourite rooms

The Hoxton, Edinburgh brings pastel-washed, contemporary design to its Georgian standing. You’ll get the best of both worlds in most rooms, with sorbet-like shades and velvet furnishings paired with original moulding and cornicing, but Roomy Up has that little something extra with its high ceilings. The three-bedroom House, which is more of an apartment, is a homely space that lends itself well to bigger clans and sociable sojourns.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Slide into one of the pistachio-green or Mediterranean-blue banquettes.

Dress Code

Accessorise your weather-ready cashmere jumpers with Missoni prints and Versace scarfs to channel the restaurant’s Scotland-meets-Sorrento ethos.

Hotel restaurant

The Italian for ‘little potato’, Patatino is as dear as its name. It’s a modern take on a classic trattoria, drawing inspiration from Sorrento’s lemon groves and the Amalfi Coast’s penchant for lingering lunches. But its produce is suitably Caledonian, pairing local ingredients with nonna-worthy recipes — monkfish ragu linguine topped with Scottish mussels or nduja- and haggis-scattered sourdough pizza. 

Hotel bar

Locals and guests alike gather at the lobby bar for punchy espresso martinis, but lower-key libations such as wines, beers and less caffeinated tipples are also served. 

Last orders

Patatino opens for lunch or brunch from noon to 4pm, Thursday to Saturday; dinner is served between 5pm and 9.30pm, Monday to Saturday. Sunday hours are from noon until 9pm. The lobby bar pours from 7am to midnight.

Room service

You can order a selection of dishes to your door between 7am and 10pm.

The Hoxton, Edinburgh lies in the city’s quieter West End, but you’re still within easy reach of the Scottish capital’s museums, castle and shopping areas.

Planes

Edinburgh Airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel, and staff can book taxis for you on request. Or take a half-hour tram or Airlink to Haymarket station, which is a five-minute walk from The Hoxton.

Trains

Direct trains from the south and regional routes call at Edinburgh Waverley, a 15-minute cab ride away.

Automobiles

There’s no need for a car in Edinburgh — the city is best explored by foot, with trams and taxis on hand for when your step count climbs too high. If you choose to drive, Q-Park Capital Square is your closest carpark at 10 minutes’ walk away.

Worth getting out of bed for

The city’s big hitters, such as legend-steeped Edinburgh Castle and the bagpipe-soundtracked Royal Mile, are close enough to The Hoxton, Edinburgh, but you can also take advantage of your peripheral setting to relish more live-like-a-local pursuits. Wander through the West End to the picturesque Water of Leith walkway, which is home to National Galleries Scotland: Modern One and postcard-worthy Dean Village; you can follow the foliage-framed trail east to village-like Stockbridge and up to home-envy-inducing Circus Lane, or carry on for 45 minutes to seafront Leith. 

Local restaurants

Hoxton neighbour The Palmerston is your one-stop shop for coffees and pastries, set lunch menus and daily changing dinners of seasonal, Scottish produce in a cosy brasserie-style space. Little Capo is a small-but-mighty spot for date nights of Italian-inspired dishes and fine wines, or swing by for an aperitivo from its curated cocktail list. Good fortunes at Lucky Yu are doled out in the form of bao buns, handmade dumplings and sake-laced tipples.

Local cafés

Fortitude Coffee in Stockbridge fuels Water of Leith rambles with its speciality brews, savoury Danish pastries and sweet-treat bakes. For pains au chocolat, scones and cappuccini the size of your head (ok, maybe hand), swing by Wellington Coffee, a favoured café on George Street. 

Local bars

Amaro, Campari and vermouth rosso are the stars of the show at Hey Palu, a cocktail bar where Italian tipples are given a modern makeover. From behind its barber shop façade, speakeasy Panda & Sons shakes up a mean cocktail.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this pastel-perfect hotel in the city's West End and unpacked their deli buys and bottles of whisky, a full account of their creative city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside The Hoxton, Edinburgh… 

First impressions are important and The Hoxton, Edinburgh duly delivers: it’s composed of 11 interlinked Georgian townhouses that take up most of one side of Grosvenor Street in the city’s West End.  

A contrast in tone — but not in impression — are the hotel’s colour-washed interiors. In true Hoxton style, spaces are designed with socialising in mind, so you might brush shoulders with some of Edinburgh’s creatives, and if not, you can admire their artwork on the walls and their artisanal products in the hotel’s mini boutique. 

Bold hues season contemporary trattoria Patatino with a little drama; cosy bedrooms are saturated in gelato-like tones and complemented by original features, such as intricate mouldings and high ceilings. But city breaks aren’t about hiding indoors, and you’re well-placed to venture beyond — Water of Leith walkway, Edinburgh Castle and New Town are all within wandering distance. 

The Hoxton, Edinburgh’s grand welcome quickly turns into a lasting impression.
