You can eat at Luckenbooths, the hotel's own restaurant on the Royal Mile, serving Scottish dishes and drinks. For other options, try The Outsider, a restaurant with views of Edinburgh Castle, or Devil's Advocate for craft cocktails and Scottish fare. Deacon Brodie's Tavern is another nearby spot for a bite. The area around the hotel is full of cafés and eateries, so you'll have plenty of choices within a short walk.
You are right on the Royal Mile, with St Giles' Cathedral a 1-minute walk and The Real Mary King's Close also 1 minute away. The Edinburgh Dungeon, Scott Monument, Camera Obscura, National Museum of Scotland, and The Scotch Whisky Experience are all within a 4-minute walk. The area is full of historic closes, cobbled alleys, and shops, with a Tesco Express and ATM nearby. It is a lively, central spot in the Old Town, ideal for exploring on foot.
From Edinburgh Airport, take a taxi or ride-hailing service for the roughly 11 km trip to the hotel. If arriving by train, Edinburgh Train Station is about a 7-minute walk away, though the route is uphill with luggage. Haymarket Train Station is another option, and Ocean Terminal is also nearby. For a smoother arrival with heavy bags, consider a pre-booked transfer or follow the main road rather than staircases. The hotel sits on the Royal Mile, so you will arrive right in the heart of the Old Town.
In the evening, you can step out onto the Royal Mile, just a 2-minute walk away, and explore the historic streets. The Edinburgh Dungeon is a 2-minute walk and offers evening ghost tours, while the World Famous Underground Ghost Tour is a popular option in the Old Town. For a drink or meal, Luckenbooths restaurant is right in the hotel, and nearby bars like Advocate's Close Bar and Devil's Advocate offer craft cocktails and Scottish fare. The area stays atmospheric after dark, with the old closes and lit-up buildings making for a pleasant stroll back to the hotel.
Yes, Cheval Old Town Chambers is an excellent base for exploring Edinburgh. You are right on the Royal Mile, with The Real Mary King's Close and St Giles' Cathedral just a 1-minute walk away, and The Edinburgh Dungeon and the Royal Mile itself within 2 minutes. The Scott Monument, Camera Obscura & World of Illusions, National Museum of Scotland, and The Scotch Whisky Experience are all a short 4-minute walk. For farther sights like Edinburgh Castle, you can walk or take a taxi, and day tours to places like Loch Ness and the Highlands depart from the city center. The central location makes it easy to return to the hotel between explorations.
