The Ascott Limited continues to expand their portfolio in the United Kingdom with its first opening of The Unlimited Collection property, the Mount Royal Hotel, in Edinburgh. Whether exploring historic sites, attending renowned festivals, or enjoying the cityscape, the Mount Royal Hotel promises visitors a memorable and exceptional stay in Scotland’s capital.

Located in the heart of Edinburgh and overseeing the iconic Edinburgh Castle, the Mount Royal Hotel has been a landmark for both locals and visitors. The rebranding under The Unlimited Collection marks a new chapter for the property, promising an enhanced guest experience with modern amenities and stylish interiors designed by Bell & Swift.

The Mount Royal Hotel, situated on the iconic Princes Street, offers guests unparalleled access to Edinburgh’s most celebrated landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile; all just a short 4-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station and a convenient 30-minute drive from the airport. For those seeking a blend of urban excitement and coastal relaxation, Portobello Beach is also a mere 30-minute drive away.

Boasting 169 fully equipped and comfortable accommodations across seven distinct room categories, combined with unparalleled views of Edinburgh Castle, the Mount Royal Hotel offers a unique blend of elegance and modern convenience. Each room is designed to cater to the diverse needs of guests, whether they are seeking a luxurious retreat or a cosy hideaway, with options that can accommodate up to three guests for a personalised and comfortable stay.

Guests are invited to step into a world of enchantment at the Mount Royal Hotel. The ‘Library Lobby’ immerses visitors in Edinburgh’s rich literary and whisky heritage, featuring a stunning spiral staircase adorned with books and artifacts. At ‘The Writers’ Distillery,’ guests can enjoy bespoke whisky cocktails and locally inspired dishes that tell a story, while The U Bar offers a lively atmosphere perfect for starting any Edinburgh adventure.

The Mount Royal Hotel is dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience, with the Gen-U team of local experts ready to help guests explore Edinburgh like a true local. Whether visitors are delving into historic sites, attending world-renowned festivals, or simply soaking in the stunning cityscape, the hotel promises a memorable and exceptional stay.

 

Billy Hughes from The Ascott noted: “We are excited to bring The Unlimited Collection to Edinburgh, a city rich in history and culture, the Mount Royal Hotel’s transformation reflects our commitment to providing unique and memorable stays for our guests.”

 

The Unlimited Collection
The Unlimited Collection debuted in 2020 with three properties in Singapore – Ann Siang House, KēSa House, and Wanderlust – all located within conserved buildings in cultural districts, each with its own unique design and character. The brand has since expanded, adding eight new properties in the past year, and now comprises more than 900 units across eight cities globally.

 

The Unlimited Collection is known for its distinctive properties that offer a blend of local charm and contemporary comfort. Each property offers a kaleidoscope of festivals, art, music, craft, food, and language steeped in local culture, intriguing even the most discerning of wanderlusts. The brand’s signature features include The U Bar and The U Shop, offering property merchandise created in collaboration with local artists and crafters.

 

The addition of the Mount Royal Hotel to the Ascott’s portfolio is the result of a partnership between Ascott and leading international development company Singha Estate PCL (via its hospitality arm S Hotels and Resorts PCL). This strategic collaboration underscores Ascott’s dedication to expanding their presence in key markets and delivering exceptional hospitality experiences. This rebranding is part of a broader strategy to highlight cultural charms and provide authentic, immersive local experiences for travellers.
