The Resident Edinburgh

Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.

A design hotel between Edinburgh's New Town and West End, where a dog bed, food and water bowls and treats wait in the room for your dog.

The Resident Edinburgh is a repurposed, sustainability-focused design hotel of 164 rooms and suites, a hop from both Princes Street and Charlotte Square, between the Georgian New Town and the Victorian West End. Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat are within easy walking distance, and this is a dog friendly hotel for well behaved, toilet-trained dogs.

Your party can include up to two dogs per room, and your dog's things are in place before you walk in: a comfortable dog bed, food and water bowls, and a selection of treats. You can even have the fridge stocked ahead of arrival, with groceries or fresh dog treats. Bookings with a dog go through the reception team by email, and the hotel asks you to complete its Dog Policy Form, signed and returned before your stay. The hotel's pages don't say if your dog can stay in the room without you, so add that question to your email.

Rooms and suites have a concealed mini-kitchen with a microwave, a kettle, crockery, a Nespresso machine and Fairtrade Taylors of Harrogate teas. On eating out, the hotel's pages don't mention mealtimes with a dog in tow, so ask the team, known as The Resident Insiders, who are well-versed in bringing the city to life. The hotel collaborates with local restaurants, bars and cafés.

There is a contemporary lounge, an outdoor terrace and artworks that champion local talent, and one suite has a super king-size bed and a private terrace of its own. When the dog wants green space, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags Circular, on Wildpack's map, is 2.0 miles off, and Burntisland Beach, our nearest dog friendly sand to the West End, is 7.5 miles away.
