What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 20 apartment-style rooms build the brand's beer obsession into every detail: fridges built into the showers, a guitar and record player in the sitting area, and mini kegs available on request.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
New Street runs through the Old Town just off the Royal Mile, with Waverley station a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Duplex rooms feature personal draft taps, fully stocked snack bars, and 24-hour hot dog delivery straight to your door.
DogHouse Edinburgh Bar
Communal timber tables fill the ground-floor taproom, where rotating guest taps join a menu of burgers and wings.
At the table
Grey banquettes sit beneath neon signs for morning brunch, and the rooftop terrace looks over the Old Town skyline.
How it began
The red-sandstone building opened in 1900 as the North Canongate Infant School, and its original metal staircase still stands.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
