With four stars and 3/3 for travel sustainability, the Apex Waterloo Place Hotel is situated in New Town, Edinburgh. This 4-star masterpiece is carved from the pale sandstone reminiscent of the East coast of Scotland.

Each room in this opulent hotel has its own colour scheme. Many stick to blues, mustards, and a rose red. With wooden floors or rich carpets this hotel provides plenty of storage space combined with spacious rooms and elegant communal areas. There is a fitness centre and rooms for hire should you wish to hold an event here.

The Apex Waterloo Place Hotel has an indoor swimming pool and its own fitness centre. The food is reportedly excellent, with reviewers mentioning the breakfasts as a selling point. With the spa and wellness centre downstairs, the common theme in the Apex is towards relaxation. Massages are an option within the treatment rooms, and they serve traditional Scottish food to their guests. Prepare yourself for the breakfast haggis. You won’t regret it.

The hotel has its own bar, good city views, and offers superior rooms. We also love the 3/3 stars for travel sustainability. The more larger hotels look after their carbon footprint, the quicker we can reach climate targets.
