Malmaison Edinburgh

Dockside former seamen's mission at the end of the Water of Leith

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.
Malmaison Edinburgh is the original of the brand, a baronial former seamen's mission on Tower Place looking over the water at the end of the Shore. There are 100 rooms, Chez Mal Brasserie and a bar, and Leith's restaurant strip starts outside the door. It suits travellers who would rather eat in a working neighbourhood than on the Royal Mile. Dogs are welcome across Malmaison, so this is one of the few Leith options that says yes in writing.

Why it's in the collection

The Water of Leith walkway finishes a few minutes away and runs all the way back into the city through Stockbridge and Dean Village, which is the best long flat walk in Edinburgh. Leith Links is ten minutes south, and Portobello beach is about 25 minutes along the coast for a proper sand day.

Well behaved dogs are welcome and the hotel asks to be told during booking or before you arrive. A charge applies and is confirmed by the hotel. Access to Chez Mal Brasserie and the bar isn't published.

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