Ten Hill Place Hotel

Ten Hill Place Hotel is at 10 Hill Place, in the Southside's Surgeons' Quarter of Edinburgh, Scotland. The hotel is owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and sits beside Surgeons' Hall Museums, one of the oldest and most unusual medical museums in the United Kingdom. The University of Edinburgh's Old College, the National Museum of Scotland and the Royal Mile are each about ten minutes on foot, and the Pleasance and the Festival Fringe venues of the Southside are close by. Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park are a longer walk to the east. The building mixes older Georgian-era facades with modern extensions, and the contemporary interiors use a calm palette of greys, creams and wood. Bedrooms are available as standard rooms, larger rooms and suites, and many have views of the Southside rooftops or the nearby Salisbury Crags. Rooms generally include tea and coffee facilities, modern bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. A hotel restaurant serves Scottish dishes made with local produce, and there is a bar for evening drinks. Breakfast is typically served as a full Scottish or continental choice. The hotel does not have a spa or pool, although the surrounding area offers parks and walking routes. Service is professional and friendly, and the property suits business travellers visiting the university and medical institutions, festival visitors, and couples who want a central base away from the busiest tourist streets. Its association with the Royal College of Surgeons gives the hotel a particular identity that interests visitors with an interest in medical history. Rates fall into the mid-range, and they increase significantly during the August festivals and graduation periods.
