Ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square hotel

Stags and thistles to make Nessie whistle


    Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, the ibis Styles St Andrew Square is an ideal base to tease tales from this mysterious city. Whether you're here to have a date with History, browse some Burns or have an intimate affair with a single malt, this bonnie destination is the ultimate Highland fling. A journey into the wilds of the Scottish wilderness winds through origami stags, tartan trimmed showers, bank notes and barrels, whilst dancing thistles will whet your whistle.
    The inspiration
    Creatively crafted with full of Gaelic heritage and humour, our native designer pays homage to this cosmopolitan city still roaring with a fierce national pride. The hotel is alive with the energy, wit and vibrance of native artists, writers and comedians who sing, splash and regale with their tales of the city and surrounding Highlands. Herringbone plays with stainless steel and bonds Baronial with slapstick, wittily reflecting the diversity of the capital.


    The design
    The hotel is full of character and maintains modern functionality with a nod to tradition. Purple, green and blue bring a distinctive Scottish hue which is enhanced by funky furnishings such as wee whiskey barrel nightstands and wry Scot-slang friezes which educate as well as inspire. Take a course in Scottish slang as embroidered carpets with local lingo take you on a winding journey through the country's colourful use of language. Illustrated murals in each room tackle different Scottish themes, meaning you might fall asleep in a field of thistles or be woken by the glare of a highland stag. And of course, where there are trimmings, they're in tartan.



    The experience
    The interior ensures that your Celtic adventure continues when you step back into your hotel. The character and warmth of this proud country will be just as alive in the carpet beneath your feet as in the heather you walk through or Scotch you sip. Playful cultural references will keep you smiling throughout your stay in your own wee Scottish haven. Just watch out for Nessie who's hidden amongst the décor of the corridors!
