Nestled at the base of Edinburgh Castle, The Witchery By The Castle Hotel is a four-pearl, gothic-style property boasting an outrageous riposte to modern minimalism. Lauded as Edinburgh's most spectacularly atmospheric dining destination, The Witchery By The Castle Hotel Edinburgh has delighted guests with its whimsical charm and rich baroque surroundings, earning the attention of The Times, The Telegraph, and Condé Nast Traveller.
Located in the heart of medieval Edinburgh, The Witchery By The Castle is only a few paces from the castle gates, amidst the labyrinth of cobbled streets, narrow alleyways, and hidden courtyards of Old Town. This area is well preserved and steeped in the city's history, offering guests the chance to explore traditional pubs, cozy cafes, and small museums. Conveniently, The Witchery By The Castle is only a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley, making it the perfect base for exploring the enchanting sights and sounds of the city.
The Witchery offers nine uniquely designed and lavishly furnished suites, each featuring large oak beds and extravagant décor smattered with velvet-lined walls and flamboyant red and gold accents. Select suites showcase hidden secrets, such as the Gothic library-styled suite with its book-filled bathroom and secret door. Some suites provide breathtaking views, like the 'Turret,' which boasts the best panoramas of the city, while others, like the 'Inner Sanctum,' entice guests with a working fireplace.
Guests can indulge in a range of Scottish specialties at two on-site restaurants: The Witchery and The Secret Garden, both renowned for their decadent surroundings and reasonable prices. Dine-in the original oak-panelled Witchery or unwind in the elegant candle-lit charms of the Secret Garden, both offering the finest local dishes.
The Witchery By The Castle prides itself on attentive service, including the small touches like slippers, chocolates, Champagne, and a nightly turndown service delivered by dedicated staff.
