Built in 1903 and refurbished in 2005, the Caledonian Hilton Hotel was once known as the flagship hotel of the Caledonian Railway.

Guests can relax and unwind in the LivingWell Health Club where leisure facilities include a heated swimming pool with views over Edinburgh Castle, a spa tub, sauna and steam room.

Those feeling energetic can try out the gym while further relaxation is offered at the Ocean Rooms Spa where a range of Thalgo marine beauty therapies and treatments are available including manicures, pedicures, tanning treatments, waxing, body wraps and massage.

Guests can enjoy fine dining on Scottish and international cuisine in an intimate restaurant overlooking the castle and a more informal restaurant featuring the original architecture of the Caledonian railway station. In the evening guests can relax with drinks in the cocktail bar or in the lounge bar which has over 100 types of whisky.

Business guests can enjoy access to a business centre offering a range of services and 13 meeting rooms which accommodate from 10 to 300 people. Limited parking spaces are available at the rear of the hotel (surcharge).

Those keen to explore the area can find themselves within walking distance of such attractions as National Art Gallery (700 metres) or slightly further afield is Arthur's Seat (2 miles).

Edinburgh Airport is 7 miles away with an approximate driving time of 20 minutes.
