Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.4
 

Prestonfield, Edinburgh's most indulgent and opulent retreat, stands as one of Scotland's premier 5-star sanctuaries, celebrated as one of Tatler's “Best 101 Hotels in the World” and crowned AA Hotel of the Year 2005.

Lavishly restored by renowned owner James Thomson of The Witchery by the Castle, this historic masterpiece—set amid 20 acres of private gardens and parkland just moments from the Royal Mile—blends timeless grandeur with discreet modern luxury, creating an unforgettable haven of romance, refinement, and whispered intrigue.

Each of the exquisitely appointed bedrooms and suites is a masterpiece of indulgence, veiled behind velvet-upholstered walls and filled with antique furnishings, free high-speed Wi-Fi, plasma TVs, stocked minibars, and breathtaking views across the lush gardens and rolling parkland. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to deliver effortless comfort and an atmosphere of lavish, romantic seclusion that lingers long after departure.

Rhubarb Restaurant, the hotel's celebrated fine-dining jewel, presents exceptional Scottish cuisine crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients, alongside the cherished tradition of elegant afternoon teas. The terraces, elegant drawing rooms, and sprawling gardens offer serene, beautiful spaces to unwind, sip champagne, or simply surrender to the tranquility of Prestonfield's private estate.

Surrounded by manicured gardens and an exclusive 18-hole golf course, the hotel provides free private parking and is just a 5-minute stroll from bus links to the city centre. This enviable position—only 3 km from the historic Royal Mile—places guests within effortless reach of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks, cultural treasures, and vibrant attractions while preserving an aura of secluded luxury and timeless escape.
