The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton
A hotel lobby in an old railway booking hall
In brief
At the west end of Princes Street, built in 1903 as the terminus of the Caledonian Railway; the old booking hall now serves as the lobby. It's among the closest hotels to the castle, with rock and castle views from the rooms. After changing hands in 2023 it was extensively refurbished and moved from Waldorf Astoria to Hilton's Curio collection.

Good to know
- The bar and restaurants are open to non-residents.
- Castle-view rooms are limited — worth specifying when you book.
