With sweeping crescents, Georgian grandeur and a healthy obsession with symmetry, Edinburgh’s New Town is hardly ‘new’, but it is timeless. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s where neoclassical charm meets modern city living. From artisan coffee and Michelin-worthy menus to curated boutiques and hidden gardens, New Town has it all. And right in the thick of it you will find our Forth House Aparthotel.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s waiting for you just beyond your suite door.
L’Escargot Bleu – A beloved French bistro with a loyal local following. Think hearty French classics, sustainably sourced ingredients, and a wine list that encourages second helpings
The Broughton –Part pub, part restaurant, fully Michelin Guide-approved. Dishes are seasonal, sophisticated, and pair beautifully with a pint (or two)
Soderberg – A slice of Stockholm in Edinburgh. Cardamom buns, excellent coffee and Scandi-cool interiors on Broughton Street.
Pickles – A cosy wine-and-cheese bar offering relaxed vibes and delicious more-ish platters.
