About this property

Stunning Luxury Georgian Penthouse: 'Hopetoun Grande'

'Hopetoun Grande' is a bright, spacious and fully refurbished three bedroom apartment with great big Georgian windows and high ceilings right in the centre of town. Within walking distance to the Playhouse theatre, high street, Botanical Gardens, train station and tram.

An elegant apartment with a vast area of 180 sq.m/2000 sq. ft. situated on the third floor of a beautiful Georgian building located in the heart of Edinburgh City. Completely refurbished in 2015, this large penthouse offers 5-star self-catering accommodation in one of Europe's most visited cities. All the common areas and rooms are generously proportioned with large windows that bring in a lot of light giving a sense of space and brightness all around.

Two of the three bedrooms have superking-size beds and the third bedroom is a special handmade four poster king-size bed. The bathrooms have been done in Italian Marble, granite worktops and provide a feeling of real luxury to the senses. The larger bathroom has a jacuzzi bath and a walk-in shower and the smaller bathroom has a power shower within an enclosure with a skylight. The quality of bedlinen and towels match that of any five star hotel.

The kitchen is large with earthy wooden kitchen cabinets and granite work surfaces and state of the art fridge, freezer, gas hob, grill, oven, inbuilt dishwasher and washing machine and microwave. It is a pleasure to spend time in the kitchen either to cook or to gaze out of the window at the twinkling lights of Fife across the sea at night.

The beautiful dining-drawing room with its large windows yet private space is a wonderful place to relax, chat and have a meal. Whilst the dining table seats 8, there is also a cosy seat of 4 at a round Mahogany table in the hall/reception room.

At this apartment you will find yourself in a place full of character, surrounded with period charm yet decorated tastefully in modern style.

By choosing our penthouse you are choosing five-star self-catering accommodation in an excellent location that is close to tourist attractions, great shopping, restaurants and theatre. Its a great place to enjoy a holiday with family or friends alike and will undoubtedly add to your experience of this incredible city.

Characterful apartment in great location for Edinburgh si

Weekend stay for a group of 8 friends looking for home comforts within easy access of Edinburgh centre. The steps to the top floor aren’t for the feint-hearted but they’ll keep you fit, and the apartment is worth the climb!Well-appointed and comfortable apartment for sitting, dining and sleeping for 8 adults. 2 showers came in handy to get everyone out of the door at the same time.Recommended for a short stay.

Obviously Edinburgh is an old city, but may have been nuce ro kbow ahead of time. But we got good exercise! Great location, good neighbors, and felt very safe. Would recommend!

Amazing light filled apartment in central Edinburgh

This is a lovely apartment in a historic building in central Edinburgh. It was perfect for our extended family, and we could walk to the major sites. There are some very tasty restaurants nearby. The hosts were quickly responsive to questions.

Edinburgh Stay

Our entire family loved our stay. The apartment was close to everything!! We used the train, buses, uber for longer distances but walked all over the city as well. Grocery stores are very close by as well as restaurants, bakery, deli and pubs. In addition the accomodations were wonderful! The beds are comfortable and the entire place very comfortable. Lots of room for everyone.

Central City Location

We enjoyed our three night stay at the Hopetoun Grand. We are a family of five adults and the three bedroom setup was very comfortable. The tall ceilings and large windows provided a nice ambience. The bedding and linens were of good quality. The city location is excellent as we walked to all of the sites and restaurants.

Great place to explore Edinburgh

One quick note about this apartment: it’s on the top floor of a winding staircase, so if you have any mobility issues it might not be for you. That said, it’s a beautiful place in a great location! Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby with easy access to the tram and buses to get into the heart of Edinburgh! Charul and Martin do a great job reaching out to make your stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend as a home base to explore Edinburgh!

Great place! Very comfortable.

Very nice restored apartment. Location is great and near plenty of amenities. Everything is nearby. If you want to you can walk, but no cab ride to any of the attractions was more than 6£s. Fourth floor walk up was really no big deal (only 77 steps). Main bathroom was a bit wonky but easy to deal with. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay

This stunning apartment was a roomy, comfortable, convenient and fun stay for our family of three children, two parents and two grandparents. There is room for everyone to be together and also room enough for solitude. The furnishings are very comfortable; especially the beds. The apartment is a convenient walk for so many Edinburg attractions, stores, restaurants and pubs. Yes, the stairs were challenging, but they were good for us! Martin is very attentive and easy to get a hold of with any concerns...as a VRBO host myself, I find this to be a crucial quality because anything can be needed at anytime. We truly enjoyed our first visit to Edinburgh and the apartment will be a big part of our fond memories

beautiful Edwardian

Lovely place at the edge of new town within walking distance to everything you would want to see in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. The owners were easy to work with and the place is beautifully restored, with added modern conveniences that blend perfectly with the building. You need to take note of the fact that there are no lifts and the stairs could be challenging to older folks or those with chronic heart or lung problems. Totally worth it for the charm and beauty of the place. It is located close to grocery store, theater and wonderful food places as well. There were three couples that stayed for three nights and thoroughly loved it. Plenty of space to spread out.

Spacious, nicely renovated and well located

Our group of 3 couples loved our 3 night stay. The flat is huge and tastefully renovated/ updated while still preserving the character of this historic property. The location is quite convenient to many of the top tourist attractions and there are plenty of restaurants and pubs close by. If you plan on preparing some of your own meals, Tesco has 2 locations nearby to stock up and a little further afield there is a butcher and fishmonger. Several local bus routes pass by quite close. Guests should know that it is a long climb to the 3rd floor, especially toting luggage. It would probably be a bit much for older folk.

Just what we needed

This apartment is in a great location of you don't want to be right in the centre of Edinburgh but withing walking distance of everything and plenty of restaurants etc. The only downs are the three flights of stairs of you're less able, the noise from the road in one bedroom due to being on a bus route, and that one of the showers was out of order at the time which I hadn't been made aware of to my knowledge, so showering 8 guests was tricky. The positives are that the kitchen was stocked with lots of essentials and is well equipped for most dishes to be cooked, the beds were clean and comfy and the heating and hot water system is great. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly in this spacious apartment.

Spacious Family Friendly, Convenient to Transportation

Clean, lots of room, quiet but just off main street with trams and buses. Easy downhill walk from the train station, and close to food and drinks. Must be reasonably fit to manage 72 steps to the third floor but we did it with toddlers and grandparents. Owners responded quickly to a minor issue. Only watch out are the huge old windows that, if opened, would be a safety concern with children. We had cool weather typical for the area and had the windows securely locked. Plenty of kitchen essentials and a nice big table for the whole gang. Loved the historic vibe.
