Well, no other city in the world celebrates the New Year as we do.
Hogmanay is what we Scots call New Year’s Eve the 31st of December and it is the biggest celebration of the year, if you have never celebrated the new year with us then you have missed out. Whatever way you decide to celebrate the big night, Scotland’s Hogmanay celebrations guarantee a warm welcome and more new friends than you ever knew you had.
When it comes to Hogmanay, Edinburgh certainly knows how to put on a show whether it’s the enchanting torchlight procession, the famous Hogmanay street party, and spectacular firework display, or a toe-tapping ceilidh and concert in Princes Street Gardens.
Princes Street Suites offers modern stylish apartments in the heart of the capital with spacious open-plan living areas, striking bedrooms, comfortable seating, and dining areas. Guests can also enjoy exclusive use of our stunning roof terrace which offers beautiful panoramic views of Edinburgh’s skyline.
We do have sofa beds available in some of our apartments allowing accommodation for 2 additional guests but please note a surcharge is applicable for this use at a price of £20 per night.
Our apartments are within walking distance from the capital’s most famous landmarks and attractions. We are just a 10-minute walk from the Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace, and a 10-minute taxi trip from the EICC and Edinburgh Castle. We are also within walking distance from Waverley Train Station and a short drive or tram ride from Edinburgh Airport. A number of stunning parks and gardens are also only a short distance from Princes Street Suites, perfect for jogging routes and dog walkers. We are Pet-friendly but an additional one-off charge of £50 does apply.
Blaze through the city accompanied by fire and light installations as you move through the illuminated heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. A spectacular and unforgettable family-friendly event finishing in the historic Holyrood Park. On reaching the park, you will be asked to light a slow-burning candle that will eventually form an image over the course of the event. Click here to learn more.
We welcome merrymakers to one of the greatest events on the planet. You have two choices:
