Stuff You Should Know

The lobby's on the seventh floor, not ground level—take the elevator up for that "wow" arrival moment. Most rooms include complimentary minibars restocked daily, plus Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners.

The hotel functions more as an upscale bar serving small plates rather than a full restaurant, but with Edinburgh's dining scene on your doorstep, that's not a problem. Wooden shutters inspired by Old Town windows provide complete blackout—perfect for Edinburgh's bright summer nights. Book a Vista room for north-facing city views or splurge on the Mhor Suite for a private terrace.

Champagne Bar Meets Scottish Hospitality

Nor' Loft isn't your typical hotel restaurant—it's a champagne lover's dream with 20 varieties served by the glass, from family-run favorites to prestige producers. The seventh-floor location offers panoramic views from Calton Hill to Edinburgh Castle through floor-to-ceiling windows. Food focuses on thoughtfully curated small plates that pair perfectly with bubbles, served until 10pm with last orders at 11pm (midnight weekends). Rather than competing with Edinburgh's incredible dining scene, Market Street wisely positions itself as the perfect place for champagne and small bites, whether you're starting your evening or ending your day. Breakfast is served in the same space.
