Overview
The Scotsman Hotel is housed within the magnificent Scotsman Newspaper building. While the newspaper has long since moved out, the buildings restoration was careful not to eradicate the stunning wooden paneled reception room that is now our bar & brasserie which serves the Edinburgh elite, hotel guests and 'those in the know' sumptuous meals and exotic cocktails each and everyday.
The internationally knows and locally respected newspaper held its giant printing presses in the lower ground floor. When the presses began to turn, the entire building was said to resonate as the printing of tomorrow's news got underway. The press room now houses an equally thumping state of the art gym. Fortunately for our guests, things have moved on and we've soundproofed everything perfectly. The only thing you'll hear in your room these days is the sound of your heart skipping a beat as you lift the lid on an indulgent midnight snack.
