The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection
City Hotel
Our Rating
8.8
The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection, masterfully unites boutique luxury with grand historic tradition in the very heart of Edinburgh's vibrant city centre.
Behind the striking 172-year-old façade of the former Lady Glenorchy Church lies an ultra-sleek, contemporary sanctuary where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication, creating one of the capital's most captivating 5-star retreats.
Each gorgeously appointed room and suite features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Calton Hill or the elegant New Town skyline. Luxurious touches include flat-screen TVs, Nespresso coffee makers, iPod docking stations, complimentary Highland Aromatics toiletries, and plush bathrooms, while many rooms offer private balconies or exclusive seating within the spectacular 2-acre rooftop garden for an added layer of serene indulgence.
The 17 exceptional suites, each thoughtfully named after a renowned Scotch whisky or region, reflect the hotel's deep appreciation for Scotland's liquid heritage. Many of these celebrated whiskies—over 160 exclusive varieties—are showcased in the recently renovated Snug Bar, an intimate haven for savouring rare drams amid refined surroundings.
Breakfast awakens the senses at The Brasserie, where floor-to-ceiling windows provide a stunning backdrop over Calton Hill, offering a choice of hearty full Scottish or elegant continental selections. Guests can enjoy locally sourced sharing platters and fine beverages in the Snug Lounge or the expansive Rooftop Garden, a verdant urban oasis perfect for relaxed moments with nearly 100 whiskies and panoramic city vistas.
For discerning events in Edinburgh city centre, The Glasshouse offers bespoke 5-star planning services and truly unique venues—including the breathtaking exterior rooftop garden with indoor options and picturesque Calton Hill views—ideal for intimate gatherings, celebrations, or unforgettable occasions. Edinburgh Castle lies just 1 mile away, while Princes Street's restaurants and bars, the historic Royal Mile, and Leith are all reachable in 5 minutes on foot. Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and York Place Tram Stop are a short walk away, with direct tram connections to Edinburgh Airport ensuring seamless arrivals and departures from this iconic urban retreat.
