The Glasshouse pairs a historic Edinburgh façade with a quietly contemporary hotel set close to Calton Hill and the city’s theatres, galleries and shopping streets. Behind the former church frontage, the interiors are restrained and modern, with rooms that make the most of light, texture and city views. A two-acre rooftop garden gives the hotel an unexpected sense of space in the centre of Edinburgh, while the snug and lounge areas create a calm retreat from the bustle outside. It feels intimate, discreet and distinctly urban, with heritage and modernity held in careful balance.
