The Clarendon Hotel

The superb location makes The Clarendon Hotel a great base, whether you are exploring the city as a tourist or visiting Edinburgh on business. Breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle are just 20 metres away and the hotel is within easy walking distance of all of the city’s tourist attractions, the financial district, theatres, restaurants and Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Now strictly non-smoking throughout, The Clarendon Hotel (formerly the Maitland Hotel) has been refurbished to a high 3-star standard and combines traditional charm and elegance with modern style and contemporary comforts and facilities, including free Wi-Fi wireless internet access available throughout. Whatever your reason for visiting this beautiful city, the hotel’s comfortable accommodation is the perfect restful, relaxing base. The hotel does not have its own car park, but there is a public car park on Castle Terrace, just off Lothian Road, which is just a short walk from the hotel. The hotel can issue all guests with a voucher for the car park, which entitles them to a 20% discount on parking.
