History
Edinburgh falls into two main sectors; the medieval Old Town with its charming alleys, narrow closes, and atmospheric buildings, and, north of the Castle Rock, the New Town, formed after 1767 when the wealthy merchants expanded the city beyond the walls that had encased it for so long.

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is a city with a long history. Your stay at the Waldorf Astoria affords fantastic views of the town, Edinburgh Castle, and the opportunity to wander its romantic streets alleys.

Situated at the West end of the famous Princes Street, Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare, this majestic hotel was initially the archetypal grand railway hotel. The building's red sandstone façade was built around 1900 and has been a city landmark. It has a category A preservation rating.

For almost 65 years, this grand building was the destination for many thousands of people arriving in Edinburgh by train. Known locally as 'The Caley,' it was a fine example of grand railway hotels. The station moved to a more prominent site; the hotel expanded into the vacant space.

In 2011, and under new ownership, Hilton International undertook a £24 million major refurbishment project. The result is a genuinely luxurious Victorian-style hotel with all the trimmings guests expect from the Waldorf Astoria brand.

Touring Guide
Edinburgh features in our Classic and Scottish Highlights tours. We recommend three or four nights at the Waldorf Astoria to enable you to explore this romantic city and its surroundings. Edinburgh can be a base to explore the surrounding countryside.

Driver-guided day tours from Edinburgh include The Trossachs National Park and Stirling Castle. The Trossachs is much like the Highlands in miniature, giving you a Highlands flavour without the long drive. Stirling is such an important historic site, making it an essential stop for the first visit to Scotland – this would be a full-day driver-guided tour from Edinburgh.

St Andrews, the coastal home of Golf, is a leisurely day tour from Edinburgh. Our Tour-Designers can tailor a tour of Stirling Castle with St Andrew's to make a dynamic day tour from Edinburgh or put horse riding on tthe itinerary of your Private Tour of Scotland.
