Hotels in West End, Edinburgh

The West End is Edinburgh at its most elegant and least touristy, a conservation area of broad Georgian streets meeting the shops and theatres of the city centre. The village triangle of William Street and Stafford Street hides jewellers, wine bars and independent fashion, while Palmerston Place leads to the soaring spires of St Mary's Cathedral. Haymarket station is here, and the tram from Haymarket runs to the airport. It suits business travellers, theatre-goers and anyone wanting refined calm within walking distance of Princes Street. Quietly upmarket; peaceful evenings away from the festival crush.
