Hotel information

Dunstane House was built in 1852 to the design of the famous architect William Playfair, who also designed the nearby Donaldsons' College for the Deaf. Originally Dunstane Villa, as it was first named, was the private residence of the Ross family, famous for their Edinburgh Castle Rock and other confectionery produced in Scotland. The bandstand in Princes Street gardens takes its name from the family. Our Edinburgh Hotel retains its Victorian architectural grandeur which, combined with an intimate country house atmosphere, ensures our guests leave with lasting memories of Dunstane. Crow step gables, archers' windows and ornate open fireplaces give Dunstane the atmosphere of a small castle.

Room information

Each attractive and comfortable room is unique, individually designed and decorated, and provides a relaxing haven. All of the charming and luxurious rooms are well-equipped, with all the modern comforts and facilities you need in a restful and relaxing base.
All rooms have the same attention to detail and welcome little touches the seasoned traveller is glad to find, and which make staying at Dunstane House Hotel such a pleasure. There are luxury Molton Brown products in the bathroom, a hospitality tray featuring authentic Orkney shortbread and bottled water, soft plaid throws and rich tweed upholstery. Slip between the cool Egyptian cotton sheets for a great night's sleep.

Food & Beverage

The Skerries Restaurant in Edinburgh offers diners a superb selection of dishes, mostly harvested from the rich tidal waters around Orkney and Shetland. Our award winning chef uses the freshest ingredients to create an innovative menu, with food that simply bursts with style and flavour. This elegant Edinburgh restaurant makes much of its handsome original features combined with an evocative and genuine Orcadian atmosphere. Although the emphasis is on seafood (check our sample menu) we serve a rich variety of other dishes, including prime Orkney beef and lamb and vegetarian meals.

The Stane bar serves lighter meals during lunch and evening and has over 90 malt whiskys to choose from.

The Skerries Restaurant and Stane Whisky Bar are open to guests and non- residents.
