The Ruthland Hotel, Edinburgh
Expert reviews
“The building may have once been the residence of Sir Joseph Lister—known as the \”father of antiseptic surgery\”—but there’s nothing clinical about this acclaimed boutique hotel at the west end of Princes Street. Nominated for several style awards, the design is chic without being intimidating.”
“This sassy West End hotel has bedrooms and serviced apartments, as well as a popular all-day restaurant/bar, a steak restaurant and underground bar that is gin distillery by day, watering hole by night. It’s perfect for couples looking for a helping of boutique style that’s not too edgy for comfort.”

Beautiful apartment in a great location, would recommend!
We had a two-bedroomed apartment which was really spacious, well appointed and immaculately clean. Excellent quality furnishings etc, gorgeous toiletries, bed linen, well equipped kitchen facilities. Great value for money too!
The first receptionist who greeted us wasn’t particularly friendly, but the second staff member who eventually checked us in was super efficient and welcoming. There was some renovation work ongoing to the property, and the adjoining bar (The Huxley) was closed - this wasn’t referenced on booking but didn’t particularly detract from our enjoyment.
