About Venue
Luxurious, relaxed and unlike anywhere you’ve ever stayed before, the Dunstane Houses is a family-run boutique hotel that brings a breath of fresh Orkney air to the heart of Edinburgh.
In a peaceful corner of Edinburgh’s West End, a short walk from Haymarket and 15 minutes’ drive from Edinburgh airport, The Dunstane Houses is an independent, 35-bedroom boutique hotel spread over two stately Victorian townhouses on opposite sides of the road: Dunstane House and Hampton House.
Dating back to 1865, but inspired by the best of modern-day Scotland, the family-run hotel combines heritage good looks with warm, personal service and a fresh, contemporary outlook.
The bedrooms and interiors throughout Dunstane House and public areas of Hampton House have been stylishly redesigned to pay tribute to the building’s neoclassical character and the owners’ Orcadian heritage, without compromising on modern comfort.
The newly opened Ba’ Bar & Lounge specialises in food made with local, seasonal Scottish produce from small suppliers, and hosts relaxed but refined all-day dining, including daily afternoon tea. It offers a wide range of fine wines, craft beers, artisanal spirits and one of the most extensive rare-whisky selections in the city, with more than 70 varieties in its vintage wall cabinet.
The Dunstane Houses offers the Ba' Bar and Lounge, Stroma Lounge and Garden conservatory for hire for events. We cater for all sorts of events from dinners, cocktail parties, champagne receptions, buffets, meetings and tastings. We are a bespoke venue that can tailor our offering to your particular needs.
Within easy reach of all the attractions of old-town Edinburgh, the Dunstane Houses is a stylish and welcoming city retreat with an authentic Scottish soul.
The Dunstane Restaurant & Bar can be hired for private events, accommodating 60 guests standing or 28 guests in a sit down setting. Guests can enjoy a relaxing after work tipple from our selection of malt whiskies, Scottish craft beers, artisanal spirits and hand-picked wines.

The hotel is so quaint and stunningly beautiful. The cuisine Michelin Star minus the high price. All the staff bend over backwards to make you feel special and meet your every request. Lovely rooms and the location is perfect. Easy bus to the centre of town and the Royal Mile.

We booked the Roseate Edinburgh as the base for our wedding weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. From the very start, the team took on board every detail we requested, and by the time the big weekend arrived, everything felt seamless. We hosted three events at the hotel—a cocktail party, family dinner, and BBQ—and the service was outstanding throughout. Every one of our 60+ guests commented on how friendly and attentive the staff were, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Special thanks to Alexander, Edward, Zoltan, and Olivia, who went above and beyond for us. Chef Borah created a fantastic meal for our family dinner on Friday, and General Manager Parvez kept everything running smoothly while making sure my new husband(!) and I were always looked after. The icing on the cake was returning to our room after the wedding to find flowers, gifts, and a signed card from the Roseate team—such a thoughtful and personal touch. The experience, service, and atmosphere made it worth every penny. We’d love to come back, perhaps for our anniversary!

The hotel is in a lovely building, but be prepared to carry your luggage up a narrow staircase. Even the hotel entrance has stairs. There are no lifts and no ramps of any sort. Our room was adorable but tiny. There was no closet (just some hooks on the wall at the entrance), which is unpleasantly messy. The bathroom was also very small, with a spacious shower and toilet crammed into a space so small that a tall person would find uncomfortable. The sink was placed in the bedroom itself with no counter space at all. For a single, short, and fit individual with no luggage, the room would be great. It was charming but not comfortable for us, two tall individuals with significant luggage for our 2 weeks of travel around Scotland! The staff were very nice. Maya, the receptionist, offered to help carry our luggage up the two floors to our room. She was very sweet. The location is very quiet with a most convenient bus stop in front of the hotel. The restaurant was great too! I'm sure they must have bigger rooms.... Bottom line: check the details of what you're booking!
