Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel

Big dogs welcome up to 35kg, with a pool and spa in the building

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Kimpton Charlotte Square runs across seven Georgian townhouses on the west side of Charlotte Square, wrapped around a glass roofed garden where BABA serves Levantine food all day. There is an indoor pool, a spa and a nightly social hour in the bar, which is Kimpton's house habit. It suits travellers who want the best New Town address without a formal hotel atmosphere. The 35kg ceiling makes it one of the few Edinburgh five stars that takes a properly large dog.

Why it's in the collection

Charlotte Square's garden is right outside and the drop down to Dean Village and the Water of Leith walkway takes about ten minutes, which is the best flat river walk in central Edinburgh. West Princes Street Gardens is five minutes east.

Dogs up to 35kg are welcome, and pet free rooms are kept for guests with allergies.

Dogs stay in the bedrooms and the hotel also keeps pet free rooms for guests with allergies, so say at booking which one you want. Sitting and walking aren't run in house, but the team arranges them with local providers.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
