"Neo-Gothic façade sheltering a modern glass structure, stylish, businesslike and crisp."

Located just off of Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh is the Glasshouse. Composed primarily of glass, this luxury hotel allows immediate access to all the art, history and nightlife the city has to offer.

The facilities

The Glasshouse serves as a haven of serenity, nestled among a bustling city. The two-acre rooftop Japanese garden exemplifies this concept even further. Guests can take a deep breath and relax at this luxury hotel.

The garden is also useful for business travellers with its extensive meeting room facilities. They are fully equipped with media equipment (including LCD projectors, VCR/DVD players, surround sound stereos, PA system, lighting control and video conferences).

Breakfast is served in the Glasshouse's Observatory room, to a backdrop of sweeping city views. Guests also have access to the luxury hotel’s honesty bar in Snug, the cosy and tastefully-styled luxury hotel lounge.

The rooms

The 65 rooms at this luxury hotel are decorated in rich, spicy tones. Rooms have unique glass and stone bathrooms and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows which let in lots of light. Luxury goodies include Frette Egyptian-cotton bed linens, Korres toiletries and complimentary shoeshine.

Each room at the Glasshouse has a CD player with a music library, as well as satellite TV and wireless internet access. There is also 24-hour room service and a private bar in each room. If guests are looking for some extra indulgence, private suites feature a sauna and Jacuzzi.
