You will be hard pressed to find a better location for a hotel in Edinburgh than the Cairn Hotel Edinburgh, guests visiting Edinburgh for leisure and corporate trips alike should look no further than the Edinburgh Cairn Hotel for suitable accommodation.
Edinburgh is a very beautiful city and being in the heart of the Capital, the team and I are always on hand to let you know about all our favourite places to see and visit. Some of our favourites are of course Edinburgh Castle and if you can be there for the 1pm gun - it's a must. Carlton Hill is only a short distance from the hotel and gives you the best view of Edinburgh - truly breathtaking! The hotel is proud to be teaming up with The Sick Kids Friends Foundation as its charity partner; our aim is to raise as much awareness and donations for this great cause as possible.
This hotel from the Cairn Group is situated in the middle of Edinburgh’s lively theatre district and is only a few minutes outside of the Scottish capital’s fascinating old town.
