Macdonald Holyrood Hotel

Edinburgh is a unique city of tremendous historic and political interest, as well as being packed with independent boutiques and high-end stores. Our Edinburgh hotel is the perfect base. As well as the Royal Mile on our doorstep, we’re within easy travelling distance from attractions like the Scottish Parliament building, Holyrood Palace and Dynamic Earth.
If you’re looking for more adventure, try walking up Arthur’s Seat – the city’s iconic extinct volcano. If you prefer to get your cardio via retail, the opportunities are endless. Explore the Old Town’s cobbled streets, or take a jaunt to the splendour of George Street. Or you can always stick to the hotel gym, if the weather isn’t on your side!
Within the hotel, you can treat yourself in the luxury spa, with a variety of treatments on offer. Alternatively, make the treat a gastro one in Ancanthus, our Edinburgh restaurant serving fresh local ingredients. For something a little lighter, head to the bar for a traditional afternoon tea, or upgrade with gin or champagne to make it something a little special.
