It’s the ideal location – right in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town yet situated in a lovely quiet spot, the two bedroom Botantist Apartment (formerly named Parkgate Residence Edinburgh) is your perfect stylish holiday home-from-home where you will find a real warm contemporary Scottish welcome and stunning views of Arthur’s Seat.

Built on the historical site of formal gardens for houses on neighbouring Canongate where much of Edinburgh’s botanical expertise was gained, everything that Edinburgh city centre has to offer is a short walk from here – the Old Town, the New Town, Princes Street – history, architecture, galleries, shops, restaurants, cafes, theatres and cinemas. You can even plan a relaxing (or not so relaxing) walk nearby in Queens Park taking in the breathtaking views of the City from Arthur’s Seat.

The Botanist Apartment Edinburgh is a superb 2nd floor flat forming part of an exclusive luxury built development adjacent to the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace and Dynamic Earth. Marvel at the stunning view of Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags as you sit and have breakfast at the solid oak dining table, planning your day in this fabulous city.

In the spacious living/dining room, relax into the sumptuous leather chesterfield sofas with their cosy pure wool plaid cushions as you settle back to watch some of the classic Scottish film DVDs that have been chosen for you. Enjoy the modern Scottish art adorning the walls, showing scenes from around Edinburgh.

Crisp white 200 count Egyptian cotton bed linen and top of the range memory foam/pocket spring mattresses provide the ultimate comfort for a great night’s sleep, as you recharge from your days exploring this iconic city. Bedroom 1 features a super king bed, which can also be set up as two single beds, and an en-suite shower room with toilet and basin. In bedroom 2 you will find a double bed. There is also a main bathroom with a bath and shower over, toilet and basin.

The flat comes with the convenience of an elevator/lift – very handy if you’ve worn yourself out with sightseeing (or shopping)!
