The Glasshouse boutique hotel - Edinburgh

Behind the facade of an old church you will find the clean contemporary lines of the Glasshouse - Edinburgh’s hip, boutique, luxury hotel. An oasis in the city, the hotel boasts the only rooftop garden in Edinburgh offering unparalleled views - the perfect place for an aperitif. Award-winning bedrooms await with crisp Egyptian cotton linen for you to sink into. Superbly located in the heart of Edinburgh, the hotel is 5 minutes from Princes Street, North Bridge and Harvey Nichols. Edinburgh Waverley mainline station is only 5 minutes by taxi, and Edinburgh International Airport is 10 km away, about 20 minutes’ drive.

The Glasshouse is located at Greenside Place, just off Princes Street and five minutes' walk from Waverley train station. The hotel sits atop the Omni Leisure Centre, and is accessed through the facade of the 150 year old Lady Glenorchy Church, which is part of the hotel.

Due to road work being carried out by Edinburgh Council, the hotel's front parking bay will be unavailable for 9 weeks from 04 April 2009. During this time, cars will not be able to access the hotel for parking or luggage unloading. If arriving by taxi, get out at Picardy Place. You can then walk 35 metres towards Leith Walk and cross the road by the Playhouse Theatre, which is next door to the hotel. If you are arriving by car, the hotel recommends parking at the Omni Complex (on Greenside Row). You can telephone the hotel if you need help with your luggage.
