Should guests have an early morning arrival in Edinburgh, luggage may be left with staff for storage anytime from 8.00am onwards. You may wish to head-off into town straight away and not waste time until rooms have been prepared for reallocation and Check-in. Alternatively, guests may wish to rest after a long journey in the Guest's Lounge and wait until a room is made available.

"Athens of the North"
Built on and around seven hills, Edinburgh is a remarkable place in which surprising changes of level occur at every turn. Calton Hill where we are situated being one of them. Climb the Calton Hill and enjoy the superb views of Edinburgh from this unique vantage point and find out why the city is known as the "Athens of the North".
Ideal location
The seclusion offered by the treelined, terraced gardens skirting Calton Hill, yet the close proximity of the Adria to the city centre, provides guests with an ideal location just to rest or explore Edinburgh from this base. Venture out on foot or, for those travelling further afield, use of the excellent bus service available close at hand.
