About

The decadent New Town is home to a Georgian Arthouse in a Grade A listed Crescent. The recently restyled Crescent House is full of handpicked artwork designed to accentuate the space; hosts Michael and Paul are focused on maximising guest satisfaction, and the house mirrors those values. Crescent House is an excellent retreat for visitors to Edinburgh's busiest festivals; it gives you a quiet area to relax when not taking in the hustle and bustle of the city.

About the property

Erected in 1823 from the designs of famous architect William Burn, Crescent House is focused on small touches of modern luxury to create an air of opulence that flows throughout the property. The house features three beautiful rooms with excellent panoramic rooftop views of the surrounding area. All rooms contain an en-suite bathroom and all the classic amenities associated with a high-end hotel.

Crescent House has fibre-optic internet for those staying on the property; it is ideal for nomadic workers or those who wish to work remotely in a new location. Never miss a presentation or log out of a meeting while using the on-site internet!

You can rent Crescent House on a suite-by-suite basis, or exclusive use for up to 6 people - 3 couples sharing - all suites are double or queen size beds. Crescent House can arrange meals, onsite chefs, gin, whisky and wine tastings, and Art Tours across Edinburgh and Scotland.


 

Other relevant points on the property

Having just won the Travellers Choice award from Trip Advisor for 2023, Crescent House is riding a wave of exceptionalism they plan to take forward with them.

Crescent House shares a beautiful communal garden with the surrounding properties; take the time to relax after soaking up all the city offers. It is a little slice of nature in the extraordinary cityscape.

A complimentary Buddha breakfast is included with all rates, so why not start your day with a fantastic meal that will give you the energy to explore all this incredible location has to offer? After you have returned from your adventures, you can use the "Backhug" in the drawing room, a chair that provides you with a deep-tissue massage to work out all of those knots built up over time.

Surrounding Area

As Crescent House is in Edinburgh, it has access to everything you could ever dream of; the historic capital is a magical place where you could happily spend days exploring.

St James Quarter: The new five-level shopping centre has world-famous shops and eateries. It is a perfect way to indulge in retail therapy with shops for every style and food for every taste. Everyone who visits will be able to find something they love.

Edinburgh Castle: Nestled in the heart of Scotland's capital, this castle is a beautiful feature of a bustling city. Playing a huge part in the history of the United Kingdom, visit here to learn about the events that laid the foundations for Scotland's future.

Holyroodhouse: Serving as the Queen's now King's official place of residence when residing in Edinburgh, Holyroodhouse is the home of Scottish royalty. Founded in 1182 and sitting at the end of the Royal Mile, this is a great place to visit for national celebrations and all things royalty.

Johnnie Walker Princes Street: You cannot visit Scotland without exploring its rich history of whiskey. There isn't a more picturesque terrace to enjoy the glorious spirit than in the eight-floor building in the heart of Edinburgh's west end. Book a tour with Paul and spend three fabulous hours experiencing the best of Scottish whisky.

Festivals:  Edinburgh is famous for its Fringe festival in August; Crescent House is the perfect place to stay throughout the festival due to its fantastic location and excellent facilities.

Guest book reviews

“Words alone can not describe how wonderful Crescent House is! Myself and my daughter have just returned from a fantastic trip to Edinburgh, made extra special by our stay in this beautiful guesthouse. Impeccable decoration and attention to detail evoke feelings of serenity in this stunning Georgian townhouse. Sitting at the window, looking out over the city, I felt so comfortable and content I could have sat there all day. Buddha breakfasts are divine, with mike serving up a lovely fresh fruit salad and Greek yoghurt, an array of freshly baked pastries, toast, crumpets, cereals, cheeses and meats and an abundance of teas, coffees, juices and water. Breakfast here is not just a necessity, it’s a whole sensory experience.

You can not praise Crescent House on the environment alone, Mike and Paul are exceptional hosts who go over and above to ensure your stay is perfect. Welcoming, friendly, interesting and enthusiastically knowledgeable on their beautiful city, they make sure your trip is all you would hope for. The experience begins before you arrive with, the hosts making contact and ensuring your set for your trip and their attentiveness doesn’t falter at all. Paul went over and above to help us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Another charm to behold this guesthouse is the artwork which adorns the walls, original art by Michael Worobec – one of the hosts. Mike’s home and art house, showcase his evolving art and mike is more than happy to discuss his works and share his passion for art.

Crescent House, you are fantastic and deserve the recognition for your exceptional service."
