The Bonham Hotel

Edinburgh

Tucked in the quiet, leafy crescent in Edinburgh’s exclusive West End and just a stone’s throw from Dean Village, lies the Bonham.

Tucked in the quiet, leafy crescent in Edinburgh’s exclusive West End and just a stone’s throw from Dean Village, lies the Bonham.

Originally city centre town houses, the hotel now offers one of the best places to stay in Edinburgh while remaining true to its roots, providing a homely and friendly base for guests.

In 1998, it opened to great critical acclaim, winning national awards of excellence with one publication describing it as “one of the coolest hotels of the 21st century”.

Following an extensive renovation in 2018 under its then new owners, The Town House Company, each of the 49 bedrooms ooze sophistication with carefully selected classic fabrics and colours, which reflect the beautiful Georgian and Victorian interiors of the three townhouses that make up the Bonham.

Original cornicing and wood panelling complement a full redesign of the accommodation including the addition of a stunning collection of chandeliers throughout alongside new bathrooms, furnishings and décor.

Surrounded by the gorgeous backdrop of the Scottish capital, many of the rooms offer spectacular views over Drumsheugh Gardens or towards the Firth of Forth and the Kingdom of Fife.

Its quiet but convenient location means the Bonham is ideal for corporate customers as well as those looking for a weekend break.

The hotel also shares some of the treasures collected by Richard H. Driehaus, the most iconic of which is the Tiffany floor lamp with a Nasturium shade (attributed to Clara Driscoll in 1905).

The Bonham is also proud to have been awarded the Silver Award with the Green Tourism Business Scheme, helping the hotel ensure its practices are environmentally sustainable.

Highlights include raising money for a local children’s charity, supporting nearby Edinburgh Zoo and reducing food waste.

This city centre home from home offers the perfect combination of style and luxury with first-class service.
