Georgian Townhouse Accommodations
Nira Caledonia occupies two Georgian townhouses with 26 individually styled rooms. Accommodations include Jacuzzi Suites with standalone tubs, Junior Suites with king beds, Townhouse Grand rooms with sofa beds, and compact Wee Doubles. All rooms feature L'Occitane toiletries, flat-screen TVs, coffee machines with PMD Tea, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms offer garden access or views of Edinburgh's New Town through Georgian windows.
Blackwoods Bar & Grill
The hotel's restaurant serves Scottish cuisine with Italian influences using locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast includes dry-cured bacon and handmade sausages from Scottish rare breeds. The restaurant holds Taste Our Best accreditation for its commitment to local sourcing. Chef Mariusz Niedzwiadek creates seasonal menus featuring Scottish produce. Private dining menus can be arranged for special occasions.
Edinburgh Heritage Location
Situated on Gloucester Place in Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from Princes Street. The Stockbridge neighborhood features weekly farmers markets, boutique shops, and restaurants. Edinburgh Waverley Station is 2 km away, while Edinburgh Airport is 15 km from the property. The hotel can arrange chauffeur transfers to the airport for £45-£50.
Concierge & Guest Services
Staff assist with airport and train station transfers, golf bookings at courses like St Andrews, and festival arrangements during Edinburgh's event seasons. Luggage assistance is provided as the historic buildings lack elevators. The hotel offers early check-in from 7 AM and late check-out until 1 PM when available. Golf packages include transport to courses and professional guidance.
Historic Building Features
The 19th-century building, once home to essayist Christopher North, maintains original Georgian features without modern additions like air conditioning or elevators. Rooms are spread across five floors in two connected townhouses. The property uses an effective virucide cleaning system throughout. Metered parking is available outside the hotel, free on weekends.
“The impression starts at the door of this boutique Georgian property, with a red carpet welcome leading into interiors that blend historical character with individual design. Its location places guests near the village feel of Stockbridge, while the on-site Blackwoods restaurant emphasizes fresh, local ingredients, creating a strong sense of place. I think it's particularly well-suited to those seeking a romantic Edinburgh escape.”
