The Robert Louis Stevenson Suite is a luxurious apartment situated in the heart of Edinburgh, Midlothian, offering breathtaking views of the iconic Edinburgh Castle. Located just a short two-minute walk from the bustling Princes Street, the apartment is at the intersection of George Street and North Castle Street, making it an ideal spot for visitors eager to explore the vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural experiences the New Town has to offer. This historic building, one of the first flats constructed in the New Town in 1790, is adjacent to the residence of the renowned author Sir Walter Scott, adding a touch of literary history to its charm.
Accessed via approximately 20 gradual steps from street level, the apartment occupies the first floor of a listed building, which means there is no elevator. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a square reception hall that leads to all the rooms. The drawing room, with its southern exposure, is a highlight of the apartment, featuring elegant details such as a gas fire with an iron grate, dado paneling, and intricate plasterwork. A glazed door connects this space to a beautifully designed breakfasting kitchen, equipped with painted timber units and granite surfaces, alongside modern integrated appliances including a range cooker, oven, microwave, washing machine, and a full-height fridge/freezer.
The accommodation consists of two bedrooms, starting with a spacious master bedroom that boasts a king-size bed and dual aspect views of Edinburgh Castle. This room is enhanced by secondary double glazing and a luxurious en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is furnished with twin beds, which can be combined into a double upon request, and is conveniently located near a well-appointed family bathroom. For larger groups, guests have the option to inquire about the Walter Scott Suite, located on the same floor, which offers similar high specifications and stunning views, accommodating up to 10 people when both apartments are booked together.
Situated in Edinburgh City Centre, the suite is surrounded by notable landmarks such as the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Zoo, making it an excellent base for sightseeing. Visitors can engage in various activities, including windsurfing, sailing, mountain biking, and mountain climbing, ensuring a diverse range of outdoor adventures. The nearby Camera Obscura and World of Illusions and the Royal Botanic Garden further enhance the appeal of this location, providing guests with ample opportunities to explore the rich cultural and natural offerings of Edinburgh.
