From advice on where to dine during your stay, to what to see when you visit, the hotel’s experienced and professional concierge staff are on hand to provide valuable local knowledge, as well as some tips for your onward journey. Staff can provide assistance in everything from booking luxury car hire, to decorating your room for your arrival with candles, rose petals and, of course, a bottle of champagne.

Food & Beverages

The Atholl started life as a private dining room for guests. Its elegant, flower-filled, Georgian setting, intimate atmosphere, fine wine list and expertly prepared modern Scottish menu attracted an enthusiastic and knowledgeable local clientele as well. Today, the Atholl has evolved into a sought-after restaurant that is one of Edinburgh's best-kept secrets. The restaurant can only seat 14 people at a time, so reservations are strongly recommended. Alternatively, you can dine in the comfort of your own room. Select your meal from the à la carte menu and dinner will be served to you by your dedicated butler. Room service is available 24 hours a day. A range of options are available for breakfast, including a full traditional cooked Scottish breakfast, as well as a range of lighter options. For a little luxury and some well-deserved pampering, you can even choose breakfast in bed.
