The house
IHGRestored Georgian townhouse
Five Georgian townhouses connect into a single property, keeping the intimate scale of private residences across sixty rooms.
What it’s good at
Notable
Five interconnected Georgian townhouses dating from 1793 preserve historic stairwells and a cupola.
Listed
Interiors draw on Edinburgh photography and chemistry history with darkroom-inspired motifs.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The York Place tram stop sits right outside, and St Andrew Square is a five-minute walk west.
The rooms
Rooms follow the irregular layout of the original townhouses, fitted with tailored furnishings and walk-in showers.
The gym
Treadmills, a cross-trainer, and dumbbells line the fitness room. Large mirrors reflect turquoise walls and wood flooring.
At the table
The Photographer & Chemist pours cocktails and whiskies at an illuminated red counter. Breakfast is served beneath high sash windows.
How it began
Lord Alva sold this land to the city in 1793, kicking off the construction of York Place's residential terrace.
