About this property

Stunning Luxury Georgian Penthouse: 'Hopetoun Grande'

'Hopetoun Grande' is a bright, spacious and fully refurbished three bedroom apartment with great big Georgian windows and high ceilings right in the centre of town. Within walking distance to the Playhouse theatre, high street, Botanical Gardens, train station and tram.

An elegant apartment with a vast area of 180 sq.m/2000 sq. ft. situated on the third floor of a beautiful Georgian building located in the heart of Edinburgh City. Completely refurbished in 2015, this large penthouse offers 5-star self-catering accommodation in one of Europe's most visited cities. All the common areas and rooms are generously proportioned with large windows that bring in a lot of light giving a sense of space and brightness all around.

Two of the three bedrooms have superking-size beds and the third bedroom is a special handmade four poster king-size bed. The bathrooms have been done in Italian Marble, granite worktops and provide a feeling of real luxury to the senses. The larger bathroom has a jacuzzi bath and a walk-in shower and the smaller bathroom has a power shower within an enclosure with a skylight. The quality of bedlinen and towels match that of any five star hotel.

The kitchen is large with earthy wooden kitchen cabinets and granite work surfaces and state of the art fridge, freezer, gas hob, grill, oven, inbuilt dishwasher and washing machine and microwave. It is a pleasure to spend time in the kitchen either to cook or to gaze out of the window at the twinkling lights of Fife across the sea at night.

The beautiful dining-drawing room with its large windows yet private space is a wonderful place to relax, chat and have a meal. Whilst the dining table seats 8, there is also a cosy seat of 4 at a round Mahogany table in the hall/reception room.

At this apartment you will find yourself in a place full of character, surrounded with period charm yet decorated tastefully in modern style.

By choosing our penthouse you are choosing five-star self-catering accommodation in an excellent location that is close to tourist attractions, great shopping, restaurants and theatre. Its a great place to enjoy a holiday with family or friends alike and will undoubtedly add to your experience of this incredible city.

Please note that check in time is from 3pm and checkout time is 11am.

Great space, perfect location.
Great property for a group of friends. Two bathrooms so sharing will be required based on the size of the group. Kitchen amenities are great. Some staple food items available on arrival. Great to have a washing machine, no dryer but clothing line in the kitchen. Large living room for gathering and unwinding after a busy day of touring. Great location, about 15 -20 minute walk from old town. Lots of restaurants close by and felt very safe. Spiral staircase to the third floor so not easy to access if mobility issues. I would stay here again.

Spacious Family Friendly, Convenient to Transportation
Clean, lots of room, quiet but just off main street with trams and buses. Easy downhill walk from the train station, and close to food and drinks. Must be reasonably fit to manage 72 steps to the third floor but we did it with toddlers and grandparents. Owners responded quickly to a minor issue. Only watch out are the huge old windows that, if opened, would be a safety concern with children. We had cool weather typical for the area and had the windows securely locked. Plenty of kitchen essentials and a nice big table for the whole gang. Loved the historic vibe.

Superb Location
We have made several trips to Scotland dating back to the early 90's. We previously stayed at a family B&B in Dunbar on each of those trips. The owners retired so we looked for a location in Edinburgh that was within walking distance of Waverly Station. This was the perfect location. The accommodations were excellent in a classic Edinburgh neighborhood. Beds, baths, kitchen, living room were great. An historic apartment setting. I appreciated the owners telling the story of the building, the apartment and the neighborhood down through the years. The owners pride for this apartment yielded a great place for us to stay. We only had one question during our stay to which the owners quickly responded. While we love walking and do a lot of it each day. We did find the Edinburgh tram system is awesome. Easy to catch a block away from the apartment. Plenty of good places to eat in the surrounding blocks. A perfect Edinburgh for our family. Mike

3 Star not 5
Were thrilled to find we were able to access Flat at 1.00pm. Spiral staircase is stunning & ok for the fit & healthy, but lugging cases & groceries up & down is hard going. Flat is full of character, spacious & fab location. Homeaway overview & comms provided by owner all state 5 Star luxury in this flat, inc their supply of Linen/towels/toiletries. We were sent a detailed list of basic kitchen consumables and cleaning essentials provided. Although the below items were listed we had very low or no supply of Kitchen & toilet rolls, d/washer tabs, T towels, bin bags, tea bags (owner arranged top ups). ‘Luxury’ Toiletries were dregs of assorted supermarket products (previous guest?) & towels were not ‘plush’ as described, but rough, rigid & scratchy. Hairdryer broken. Flagged up a few maintenance issues 2 owner on day 1, but advised they couldn’t fix for five days. We left after 7 nights & hadn’t heard from owner, so have more things they ought to b aware of. Main bathroom – underfloor heating not working, filthy floor behind the door area, jacuzzi pumping black debris into the water, non slip bath mat perished & full of holes, shower slow to drain. Shower Room – toilet seat in need of repair, toilet brush & plunger plug in sink broken, shower tray not draining, door won’t lock or shut properly. Lounge – two lamps not working, third had loose connection, chandelier constantly flickering, overloaded electric sockets. Kitchen – several bulbs out, fridge temperature either tepid or freezing (literally), coffee machine not fully topped up with beans (as promised), very rattly fan oven, dead plants on window cill, chipped /cracked crockery & mugs, gaping holes behind door, cupboard full of random part used food items ( half of which were out of date or stored in plastic boxes with no labelling. Some of the cereal was BB Apr 2016) The heating is set up for the owner to control wirelessly so it is not possible to control the heating from the apartment other than to boost the heating when the temperature drops. As the thermostat is in the hallway we found the hall area was getting up to temperature & cutting out, but lounge was still chilly. The toilet in main bathroom is ‘saniflow’ style. A repair would cost your full security deposit! Fortunately owners flag up do’s & don’ts b4 your stay. We had an amazing trip & EDI is a fantastic City. The flat was beautiful but in our experience not 5 Star Luxury. Loved the quality of duvets & slept very well.
