Opened in 2023, W Edinburgh has been awarded Scotland’s Best Luxury Hotel in 2025. Its innovative architecture, designed by Jestico + Whiles, takes the form of a bronze ribbon that unfurls across the city skyline, symbolizing the new cultural and commercial district of St James Quarter. With its sculptural silhouette, the building has already become an architectural and visual landmark of the Scottish capital.

The luxurious hotel features 199 rooms and suites, showcasing a contemporary yet warm style with natural materials and rich textures. Some suites include private terraces offering panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle and the North Sea, creating an unparalleled setting.

The W Edinburgh’s gastronomic offering is a true fusion of flavors. At SUSHISAMBA, Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian influences come together in signature dishes, while the W Lounge invites guests to enjoy handcrafted cocktails and live music. On the rooftop, the W Deck offers one of the most breathtaking views of the city.

Beyond its vibrant culinary scene, the hotel features a gym, wellness areas, private event spaces, and a curated cultural program that includes collaborations with local artists and designers. Every detail, from the lighting to the mural art, reflects W Hotels’ “Whatever / Whenever®” philosophy: a personalized, energetic experience for the modern traveler.
