World-famous for its lively celebrations, there’s nowhere quite like Edinburgh

during the festive season as the city comes alive to mark Christmas and Hogmanay in inimitable Scottish style. Right at the heart

of this vibrant city, you’ll discover The Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square –

an elegant property formed by a series of inter-connecting Georgian townhouses.

Celebrations here are always special. From Christmas party

nights to Christmas day lunch and our Hogmanay Ball,

you’ll find we’ve thought of everything.
