Edinburgh Hotel Offers – Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa
Luxurious spa & restaurant close to Edinburgh Castle
Why we love it
The setting
The Sheraton Grand sits on Festival Square, a short walk from Princes Street and the west end of Edinburgh's New Town. Edinburgh Castle is about ten minutes away on foot, and the trams and Waverley station are close enough to reach the airport or the wider city without much fuss. The square itself is quiet in the evenings, which makes coming back after a long day of walking feel easy.
What to expect
This is a large city hotel with 269 rooms over seven floors, and the public spaces reflect that scale. The lobby is wide and calm, the on-site restaurant does proper sit-down meals, and there is a spa if you want to slow down between outings. Rooms are booked on a room-only basis, so factor breakfast into your plans or pick up something on Princes Street. The Standard Double works well for two.
Things to do nearby
Whisky and gin shape a lot of what is close by. The Edinburgh Gin Distillery and Johnnie Walker Princes Street are both roughly five minutes away, and the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre is a little further up towards the castle. St George's West Church stands almost next door. From the hotel you can walk to the Royal Mile, the National Gallery, and the Grassmarket without needing transport.
Best for
Couples and pairs of friends who want a comfortable base for a long weekend of castle visits, gallery time, and a few tastings. The room-only rate suits travellers who would rather eat out than sit down to a hotel breakfast each morning.

Drop your bags and head straight up to Edinburgh Castle, about ten minutes on foot. Spend the afternoon along the Royal Mile, then come back down to the New Town for dinner near the hotel.
Whisky and gin trail
Give the morning to whisky and gin. Johnnie Walker Princes Street and the Edinburgh Gin Distillery are both close, and the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre sits near the castle approach. Finish with a walk through the Grassmarket.
Gallery and last morning
Use your last morning for the National Gallery and a slow wander down Princes Street before checking out. The spa is a good option if you would rather stay in and rest before the journey home.
