The Glasshouse

Description

The Glasshouse Hotel is one of Edinburgh’s most striking boutique stays, set behind the original façade of the 172‑year‑old Lady Glenorchy Church and offering a rare blend of heritage architecture and contemporary luxury. Now a five‑star property, it’s known for its serene atmosphere just moments from the buzz of the Playhouse district, with stylish rooms looking out over the city or opening directly onto the hotel’s impressive rooftop garden - a quiet, greenery‑filled escape with views up to Calton Hill. Suites come with thoughtful touches like king‑sized beds, local toiletries and even a dram of whisky tied to the room’s name, adding to the sense of indulgence.

Dining at The Glasshouse leans into Scottish flavour and flair. The Snug Lounge serves innovative, locally sourced Scottish cuisine, from hearty full‑Scottish breakfasts to afternoon teas and whisky flights chosen from a remarkable collection of over 200 bottles. The Brasserie offers sweeping Calton Hill views alongside classic breakfast dishes, while the rooftop garden becomes a dreamy spot for cocktails or whisky tastings when the sun dips. The hotel is also home to experienced culinary talent, with chefs such as Daniel Mellor and Danilo Fumagalli leading its kitchen teams.
