Hotel Kimpton - Charlotte Square, an IHG Hotel

38 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, EH2 4HQ, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map

Excellent hotel - staff were really friendly and helpful during our entire stay. The breakfast was excellent and the social hour everyday at 6pm with complimentary wine was an unexpected bonus! Pool and spa facilities were also great. All current restrictions were adhered to perfectly and the hotel overall was spotless.

Andrew

Everything. The staff were amazing. They went far and beyond to make our stay amazing even though there was still some covid restrictions that impacted our stay. They helped us have a great experience through flexibility and understanding.

Jason

Apart from the amazing finishing and feel throughout the hotel. Having stayed in some of the best hotels in the world in Dubai, New York and Paris, the staff at the Kimpton were the best i have come across in any hotel. Especially Robbie and Gavin, they were on hand at any time to help make a special stay for us even more special. We have already agreed to revisit Edinburgh and without a shadow of a doubt, The Kimpton will be our hotel of choice. Not a single part of our stay was not perfect.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all excellent. Like that there is a good choice of small plates and that food is imaginative. My husband uses a wheelchair so hotels can be tricky but staff were extremely helpful and made life easy.

Location and hotel amenities were great! Staff was helpful and friendly. Social hour is a very nice touch.

Christie

We had a room on the 5th floor with a view of Edinburgh castle, and it was hands down amazing. The shower was powerful and really warm. The USB wall outlets are really helpful so you don’t need an adapter. We didn’t get to the spa but that sounded amazing too. Breakfast had a ton of good options, including gluten free toast on request. The bottle of wine for our anniversary was a really beautiful touch too! Overall, we loved it and would stay here again!
