18 rooms · Georgian townhouse · Est. 1823
Thornbury House is a quiet Georgian townhouse hotel on a garden square, eight minutes' walk from Princes Street and Stockbridge, with the Castle and Calton Hill on your doorstep.
The house
Built in 1823 as part of Edinburgh's second New Town, Thornbury House joins two A-listed family homes into an 18-room hotel. We've kept the cantilevered stone stair, the cornicing and the working sash windows, and added deep beds, rain showers and a team who know the city by heart.
Rooms and suites
Eighteen rooms, no two alike, from cosy Snug Doubles under the eaves to the Calton Suite with rooftop views. Every stay includes breakfast cooked to order.
In the room
Tall sash windows, original cornicing and views over the communal gardens of Thornbury Place.
In the room
The grand first-floor rooms, with a roll-top bath, fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the room
Our top-floor suites, with a separate sitting room and rooftop views toward Calton Hill.
Location
We're on a garden street in the north of the New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pick a place to see how far it is from our front door.

Guest stories
A few words from recent guests about staying with us in the New Town.
“We could walk to everything, from Princes Street to Stockbridge, then come home to the quietest street in the New Town. The breakfast alone is worth the trip.”
Good to know
We're at 14 Thornbury Place in Edinburgh's New Town, EH3 6QT. Princes Street and Stockbridge are both about eight minutes on foot, and Waverley Station is a 13-minute walk.
Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am. Reception is open 24 hours, so arriving late is never a problem. Early check-in and late check-out can be arranged when rooms allow.
Yes. Breakfast in the Morning Room is included with every room booked directly with us, including a cooked dish made to order.
The New Town is a controlled parking zone, so we don't have on-site parking. We can reserve a space at a nearby car park from £22 a day, or arrange a taxi from the airport or Waverley Station.
Take the tram from the airport to St Andrew Square, around 35 minutes, then it's a 10-minute walk. A taxi takes around 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic.
