WALDORF ASTORIA EDINBURGH - THE CALEDONIAN
Situated at Princes Street, this former Victorian railway hotel nestles in the shadow of the historic Edinburgh Castle and is the epitome of style and excellence. The large, rose-coloured
Permian sandstone facade, quarried in Dumfries, dominates the skyline of the city’s west end. The hotel has not only remained a focal point for more than one hundred years, but also as a
symbol of the very best of Scottish hospitality.
The hotel’s pivotal position at the very heart of Edinburgh has always been its greatest asset. Created out of the 19th century railway boom, this five star luxury hotel is looking to the future with confidence and pride in its ability to keep pace with the times and its reputation is as justified now as it was when the
hotel first opened its doors in 1903.
