What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
hidden away inside a listed Georgian townhouse, you’ll know Tigerlily instantly — it’s the one Georgian townhouse with a line out the door, composed of revelers waiting to get in to Lulu, the nightlcub down in the basement.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front door opens onto George Street, surrounded by the New Town's cocktail bars and fashion boutiques.
The rooms
Bedrooms have four-poster beds and bright palettes, and the Georgian suites retain their original plaster cornicing.
Tigerlily Restaurant & Bar
Orange leather stools line the curved marble bar, and the kitchen serves Scottish fare with Pan-Asian flavors.
How it began
The 1785 townhouse sat derelict as an office until local hospitality group Montpeliers converted it in 2006.
