An outstanding lodging property with the highest representation of Old-World tradition, Scottish charm and social grace. A rich, unique heritage and glowing patina envelopes this Georgian masterpiece. Close to everything. Dining at the club is an experience of delicious old-school cookery and hospitality. Immaculate, quiet elegance coupled with unmatched service - thank you Miss Georgia - make a stay at the RSC a superb choice when in Edinburgh.

Part of what we loved about Edinburgh

A very nice hotel conveniently located in Edinburgh's New Town. Friendly helpful staff, nice breakfast, and a comfy modern room. We especially appreciated that they had extra tickets for the the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo!

If you get a ground floor room in the annex, the foot traffic outside makes it difficult to sleep. The space was also incredibly small and cramped. We could barely walk around to the other side of the bed. Would not stay here again.
