Hotel Indigo Edinburgh

Hotel Indigo Edinburgh is a boutique hotel at 51 York Place, on the eastern edge of Edinburgh's New Town in Scotland. The street runs between Picardy Place and St Andrew Square, an area of Georgian terraces now mixed with restaurants, theatres and offices. Edinburgh Bus Station and the St James Quarter shopping district are a few minutes away on foot, Waverley station is about 10 minutes, and the Royal Mile is reachable in roughly 15 minutes. The tram stops nearby for airport connections. The Indigo brand emphasises local character in its design, and the hotel is intended to feel more individual than a standard business chain. Room categories range from Standard and Superior Rooms to Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with typical nightly rates of about £110 to £300 depending on the season. A restaurant and bar operate in the hotel, serving breakfast and evening meals, and a gym is available to guests. The service style is relaxed and informal rather than formal, which suits leisure travellers, couples and business visitors alike. The position is well suited to those arriving or leaving by bus or tram, since the bus station is among the closest in the city, and to visitors who want to be near the theatres of Leith Street and Greenside, the Playhouse and the Omni Centre. York Place also puts guests near the Scottish National Portrait Gallery on Queen Street and the shops of Multrees Walk. Compared with hotels on the Royal Mile the area is quieter at night, though still central. The hotel is a sensible mid-priced choice for visitors who want a design-conscious base with dining on site, convenient transport links and a short walk to both the New Town and the Old Town.
