Kimpton Charlotte Square is a stunning hotel located in the heart of Edinburgh. We stayed here for three nights to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and it certainly didn’t disappoint. During the lead up to our arrival I was liaising with Clare, the hotel’s Guest Relations Manager, to help arrange a few surprises. Nothing was too much trouble and she seamlessly helped arrange flowers, balloons, a cake, the works. Everything was placed in our room beforehand making it a special arrival.
We loved our Junior Suite, which offers lots of space and is stylishly decorated. The breakfast was delicious, both room service breakfast and in the breakfast room (we had both). We also loved the hotel bar, which offered a “social hour” from 5-6pm for hotel residents providing complimentary red or white wine. This was a lovely way to break the day between sightseeing and heading out for the evening. The bar was busy and offered a great atmosphere.
Otherwise, the hotel itself is ideally located to discover Edinburgh. It is essentially bang in the heart of the city and everything is within walking distance. As an extra bonus, Edinburgh’s Christmas markets were minutes away, so we found ourselves wondering through them on a daily basis.
All in all, this was a truly memorable stay in a fantastic hotel. Thanks to Kieran, Clare and all the team at Kimpton Charlotte Square for a wonderful stay.
