  • Hi, the photos show that ceiling of the director's suite is exceptionally high (even more so than the penthouse), is that true? Also, my family (a total of 5) were planning to book the family apartment, but we really liked the directors' suite, would it be possible to add extra beds?

    Our Director's Suite features one superking bed as well as a Double Luxury Sofa bed in the spacious living room. Additional single beds are available.

Host Information

Host review score 9.5

Cheval The Edinburgh Grand is a luxury all-apartment Residence located in the beating heart of Edinburgh, available to book for any length of stay, from one night, to one year or more. Situated on St Andrew Square in the city’s New Town area, the Residence pays homage to its former life as an historic banking landmark, The National Bank of Scotland. The well-known building has been beautifully renovated to house 50 fully equipped serviced apartments, with options to accommodate from one to six guests. Each apartment seamlessly incorporates the building’s historic roots with slick contemporary design, and the interior décor has been intricately chosen to enhance authentic features including original dark wood panelling, fireplaces, brass door handles and decorative cornicing. Only a short walk from the city’s main railway station, Waverley, and well-placed for shopping and dining out, Cheval The Edinburgh Grand is the ideal spot from which to discover the past and present of Scotland’s vibrant capital city.

With almost 40 years’ experience in the accommodation sector, Cheval Collection operates an eclectic portfolio of serviced apartment brands. The current eleven Residences in operation include a total of 621 apartments, ranging from open plan one-bedroom layouts to grand penthouses, all situated in prime locations in both London and Edinburgh. Cheval Collection has earned a reputation for exceptional service and quality, and is recognised for being at the leading edge in the development and management of luxury serviced apartments and residences.

Located in the new town of Edinburgh on prestigious St Andrew Square, The Edinburgh Grand is within walking distance of bustling shops, lively restaurants and exciting bars. Many of the apartments have lovely views onto the iconic Arthur's Seat and Carlton Hill. Being in the heart of New Town there is no easier way to get to Cheval The Edinburgh Grand than the Edinburgh Tram, stopping right outside, or Edinburgh Waverley railway station which is only a two minute walk from our location.
