About the Hotel

2 Greenside Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, EH1 3AA

The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection is a modern 5-star boutique hotel set behind the historic facade of 172-year-old Lady Glenorchy Church in Edinburgh's New Town, initially built in response to the deterioration of the medieval Old Town in the 18th century.

Luxury Room Amenities

All rooms at The Glasshouse are equipped with luxurious bedding, full air-conditioning, heated bathroom floors, flat-screen smart TVs, and complimentary minibar. The large, open-plan Calton Hill Suites include direct access onto the hotel roof-garden, with your own seating area outside every bedroom, where you can sit back, relax and take in the views onto Calton Hill, one of Edinburgh's most historic landmarks.

Scottish Culinary Experience

The Brasserie is an elegant setting for breakfast with continental choices and traditional or vegan full Scottish fry-up, kippers and eggs Benedict or Florentine. The Head Chef has crafted a menu that offers a Scottish twist on the traditional British institution, making use of traditional Scottish staples and combining them with the delicate tastes of an afternoon tea.

Whisky Snug Lounge

Positioned in the physical heart of the hotel is the cosy Snug - a perennial favourite among regular guests of The Glasshouse as the place to unwind. The Snug offers the perfect space to relax in comfort, with an open fire pit and direct access to roof-top garden, featuring nearly 100 different whiskies.

Central Heritage Location

The Glasshouse Hotel is nestled between the borders of the city's historic Old and New Towns, which make part of its UNESCO World Heritage status. A direct link from Edinburgh Airport to York Place is conveniently located opposite the hotel, while attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are within walking distance.

Versatile Event Venues

The hotel's array of meeting spaces includes The Boardroom, an executive meeting space nestled below the vast, original church window of the Lady Glenorchy Chapel. Flexible event spaces, coupled with access to the 1 hectare rooftop garden, provide the perfect backdrop for celebratory events in the heart of Edinburgh.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nicely done, stylish, and had good sound insulation. The bedding and amenities were sumptuous, and I appreciated the selection of complimentary refreshments. On the downside, the room I was in required going down a level on my first visit. It's a great place for a relaxing stay with the option of free cancellations.

The dining experience was a bit disappointing for the quality of the hotel. The breakfast was quite expensive, and the avocado toast was not up to expectations. In terms of value for money, it could be improved.

Wow, my stay at this hotel was a mix of both good and not so good experiences. The rooms were lovely, with a comfy bed, but the noise made it impossible to sleep. On the bright side, I had access to a balcony, heated towels, bathrobes, slippers, and a bathtub, unlike other hotels in the area. However, getting to my room felt like a mini workout - from reception, up via the lift to the third floor, then down to the first floor by two flights of stairs, and finally navigating a very long corridor.
