Information For Nira Caledonia

Nira Caledonia is a unique boutique hotel located in the heart of Edinburgh. We combine Georgian splendour with 21st-century comfort.

In the heart of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage area, stands Nira Caledonia. The hotel has only 27 rooms and suites, and as a proud member of SLH, it embodies the historic charm of its surroundings.

Nestled on the quiet side of New Town, the hotel is only a few steps away from the village of Stockbridge, rich with independent shops and restaurants. These elegant Georgian townhouses date back to 1817 and were originally the residence of Scottish literary critic and University Professor John Wilson. Today, it opens its doors to guests worldwide while preserving its historical grandeur. The hotel has no lift or air-conditioning to preserve the delicate structure and historical heritage. However, every room boasts modern comforts, from flat-screen TVs to espresso machines.

The 27 rooms pay homage to traditional Scottish architecture. Each room of this boutique hotel is unique and individually designed decor. Our 7 cosy Wee Double and Single rooms feature refreshing rain showers. 4 Townhouse Petites provide a spacious bathtub for unwinding, some equipped with in-built hydrojets for deeper massages. The upper categories of our rooms, such as the 9 Townhouse Grand or the 4 Junior Suite rooms, allow family retreats, featuring a double sofabed where you can cosy up and sleep. Our top 3 rooms are the Jacuzzi suites, offering a personal haven to escape stress, indulge in bubbles, and bask in the luxury of a pampered retreat.

Our team and concierges, trained at the superior standard of Small Luxury Hotels of the Worlds, will suggest unique personalised itineraries for a day out in Edinburgh. Indulge your palate at Blackwood’s, our Restaurant & Bar - offering dining space for up to 24 covers. Our succulent Scottish-inspired dishes feature carefully sourced ingredients from local vendors, ensuring the finest Scottish quality. The Josper, a unique feature in our kitchen, enhances the Scottish flavours at their finest. Do not forget to try our rich Continental Buffet and upgrade your experience by sampling one of the top-rated Scottish Breakfasts, serving the famous haggis and potato scones.

Nira Caledonia offers a Scottish-brewed Whiskey-tasting experience in partnership with Adelphi Distillery. Guests can enjoy exclusively selected and bottled vintage amber malt whiskey, limited to only 24 bottles per year. For those looking for new traditions and flavours, the hotel also offers its branded Gin, produced locally by a small family business. These Nira Caledonia exclusive liquors are served only in our bar, the Blackwoods, open every day from breakfast until late evening.

As the sun sets over the historic cityscape of Edinburgh, Nira Caledonia beckons you to become part of its illustrious tapestry, where the echoes of Scottish history harmonize seamlessly with contemporary comfort, creating an experience that is truly unforgettable.
