 The Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

19 North Bridge
Edinburgh, EH1 1SD, United Kingdom

We have secured discounted rates at the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. The hotel is just off the Royal Mile and in the heart of the historic Old Town.

We recommend booking this within the next few weeks (before they sell out for summer). Patrick and I toured lots of hotels while visiting Edinburgh - seriously, about 22 different hotels - and we felt the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton was the best, overall fit! The hotel is centrally located near the primary pedestrian center and is fully air conditioned (many hotels in the city are not). It also offers various room options perfect for families and groups (including rooms with two double beds - also not typical for the city). Wifi is complimentary and the hotel offers a full Scottish breakfast. We will be staying here most of the week!

If you are interested in booking an alternative hotel, we recommend one of the following:

The Hotel Indigo is down the hill and across North Bridge (Waverley Station) from the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. It is a cute hotel with lots of character.

The Scotsman Hotel is across the street from the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. It is a beautiful hotel that oozes charm. We are staying here after the wedding!

Airbnb Options:

Airbnbs are great lodging options (especially if you would like a kitchen or multiple bedrooms); however, we have been advised by several travel pros to book Airbnbs with caution. The summer months in Europe are extremely busy and, from time to time, Airbnb will cancel last minute. If this occurs, Airbnb would provide a refund and offer a discount to rebook, but it will be tough to secure another airbnb or hotel last minute. Again, this is a great option but there is some risk.

If you decide that Airbnb is the best option for you, I recommend booking as close to the group hotel as possible. The city is extremely walkable but google maps can be a little deceiving - it does not account for ALLLL the hills and stairs!!!
