Originally built as three separate Georgian townhouses, today the Bonham is home to a stylish boutique hotel located in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

The Setting

Located in Edinburgh’s fashionable West End, the Bonham is peacefully set on a quiet crescent overlooking a traditional garden square to the front and offering elevated views over Dean Village and Water of Leith to the rear. The hotel is just a short walk from Princes Street Gardens in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and the pubs, restaurants and eateries of George Street.

The Hotel

Dating back as far as 1874, what is now the Bonham started life as three separate townhouse in an opulent residential terrace. Its interesting history has since seen the property used as both a private clinic in the early 1900s and more recently as university residence before becoming a hotel in the late 1990s. Today, the property offers modern luxury hotel accommodation whilst retaining its period elegance; in the plush lounges and public spaces you’ll find a host of original features including traditional wood panelling, detailed cornicing and intricately restored wood and stone carvings.

The Wider Area

Edinburgh is a truly enchanting capital city. Synonymous with the nation’s ancient culture, the capital of Scotland is also visually spectacular, bristling with elegant architecture and hallmarks of a long and turbulent history. The city’s skyline is dominated by Edinburgh Castle, an imposing fortress which appears to grow organically out of the ancient volcanic rock upon which it perches. Surrounding the castle, Edinburgh’s old town clings to the hillside, a rambling network of cobbled streets and lanes to be explored. The highlights are Royal Mile, Scott Monument, Scottish National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, National Museum of Scotland. Shopping is a pleasure in Edinburgh, especially with Princes Street leading to the elegant “New Town”. There is an array of restaurants, bars, pubs, cafés and markets to indulge in culinary delights. The outskirts of Edinburgh also offer some renowned sights not to be missed; the rejuvenated Leith Docks with glorious “Royal Yacht Britannia”, the Palace of Holyrood House, Craigmillar Castle, and a true gem, which was thrust into the limelight following the 2006 “Da Vinci Code” movie, Rosslyn Chapel.

In Summary

The Bonham hotel has beautiful interiors modern but retaining period features of the original town houses and looks over the peaceful Drumsheugh Gardens to the front and view to Edinburgh Castle from the rear. The Bonham welcomes all guests with open arms.
