An Edinburgh Hotel with a City Centre Location
The Richmond Hotel is ideally located for anyone wanting to explore Scotland's capital city. Our hotel is just minutes from the city centre and the neighbouring area offers countless historical landmarks, galleries, museums and parks.
The hotel is situated directly across the street from the historic Calton Hill, offering stunning views of the city and castle. Just around the corner are the lively Playhouse Theatre (one of Edinburgh's major theatres) and the Omni Centre's cinemas, restaurants and bars.
The Richmond is located within a 10-minute walk from Waverly Train Station and St. Andrew’s Square Bus Station. For guests arriving by car, there is on-street parking nearby (free on weekends) as well as a large car park just 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
