Tucked away on the tranquil western edge of Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage New Town, Kimpton Charlotte Square occupies a magnificent terrace of seven interlinked Georgian townhouses designed by legendary architect Robert Adam in 1791. Blending aristocratic heritage with vibrant, bohemian sophistication, the hotel captures the romantic wanderlust of the golden age of travel.
Eclectic interiors showcase vintage travel trunks, antique mirrors, curated artwork, and retro record players loaded with classic vinyl. The hotel’s 199 rooms and suites feature plush velvet furnishings, curated tuck boxes filled with local treats, and ceramic-and-marble bathrooms stocked with luxury Perfumer’s Story toiletries.
At the heart of the hotel lies The Garden, a sunlit courtyard oasis crowned by a glass atrium roof, offering all-day dining and botanical cocktails surrounded by olive trees. In the evening, BABA draws food lovers for vibrant Eastern Mediterranean mezze and charcoal-grilled dishes created in collaboration with Glasgow’s award-winning Ox and Finch team.
