Our Story:
The Caledonian Edinburgh has embodied the best in Scottish hospitality for over a hundred years. Situated at the West End of Princes Street, this former Victorian railway hotel nestles in the shadow of the Edinburgh Castle, within walking distance of Princes Street Gardens, the Royal Mile and Edinburgh’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Located in the heart of Scotland’s capital, we are proud to celebrate The Caledonian’s stories, anecdotes and memories over the last 120 years in Edinburgh. We would love for you to embark on the journey to our next chapter, The Caley Way! We’re delighted to be recruiting for our newly reimaged bedrooms and guest experience. At The Caledonian Edinburgh, the comfort of our guests is of paramount importance and this commitment is reflected in each guest room. Our rooms and suites have been designed to depict the vast landscape of Scotland and its stories. Drawing inspiration from the original Caledonian Railway crests set atop the hotel’s Grand Staircase, the newly reimaged guest rooms and suites celebrate three of Scotland’s prominent cities, and previous capital cities, Edinburgh, Stirling and Inverness.
