Set beside a charming private garden in the New Town, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel blends traditional glamour with the Scotland of today. Outside, the hotel's classical Georgian exterior stands as an ode to Edinburgh's past. But inside, a glass-topped central courtyard is abuzz with activity. Below the hustle and bustle, a tranquil spa and Fitness Centre provides respite for weary travellers and locals alike. The atmosphere is so refreshing you’ll want to bottle it and bring it home. But then again, it feels too distinctly Edinburgh to make sense anywhere else.
Restaurant
BABA bar is the place to be for pre-/post-meal drinks – or just to chill out after a day hitting the shops! Pick up a wee snack to enjoy with a cocktail inspired by the Levant, or if you don’t see what you fancy, ask our talented bar team to shake you up a classic.
At BABA, we celebrate the vibrant flavours of the Middle East with the finest ingredients from Scotland. Here, mezze takes center stage, inviting you to indulge in a variety of small, flavorful dishes perfect for sharing. Our BABA charcoal grill also shines, delivering succulent Scottish lamb, beef, and seafood. Since opening, locals have been flocking to experience the unique fusion and the joy of mixing, matching, and sharing every delicious bite.
The Garden is the hotel’s central gathering point, and a tranquil oasis in the hustle and bustle of the city. Join us for a meeting with colleagues, or a coffee with friends. Searching for a dreamy ‘WFH’ destination? The Garden is the perfect retreat, where peace and productivity come together in perfect harmony. Our Wi-Fi is free of charge, and you can tuck into a selection of pastries from 9am-3pm every weekend and Sunday. There’s no need to book.
