Hotels in Leith, Edinburgh

Leith is Edinburgh's regenerated port district — once a rough-edged harbour town, now home to some of Scotland's most celebrated restaurants (Michelin stars cluster along The Shore) alongside craft breweries, independent galleries and the Royal Yacht Britannia moored at Ocean Terminal. It feels like a city within the city, with the Water of Leith walkway threading through it. The tram and buses reach the centre in under 20 minutes. It suits food-focused travellers and anyone who wants a lively, local base away from the tourist Old Town — with substantially better value than the central neighbourhoods.

15 hotels within walking distance of Leith, in the heart of Edinburgh, with nightly rates from around £221 to £222 (averaging £221), including 7 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Ocean Mist Leith, about 122m from the centre of the neighbourhood. The nearest major venues are Scottish Gas Murrayfield (3.6 miles) and Hive Stadium, Edinburgh (3.6 miles), as the crow flies.
