Prime Location in Edinburgh 

If you’re looking for a luxury hotel that isn’t slap-bang in the busy touristy area of Edinburgh, then our Burtsfield location will be be perfect for you.  

Bruntsfield is a well-to-do area in Edinburgh that boasts a multitude of trendy bars, fantastic cafes, quaint coffee-shops, scrumptious breakfast spots and boutique shops. Bruntsfield is also home to the expansive Bruntsfield Links, a stunning green space where you can stretch your legs and enjoy nature whilst still in a central Edinburgh location.  

Across from the Links you can wander over to The Meadows, a huge and very popular park with students and locals alike. The Meadows is particularly worth a visit in the Spring due to the long row of cherry blossom trees coming into bloom, a sight that is truly marvelous to witness and something that never fails to amaze us here at Black Ivy, despite all our years of seeing it! 

And best of all, Bruntsfield is situated just a short 10-minute walk from Edinburgh’s Old Town! From Black Ivy guests can take a comfortable stroll across the links, through The Meadows and along the university quarter, ending up in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh where you’ll find many famous spots nearby, including the National Museum of Scotland, the Old College of Edinburgh, Edinburgh’s Grassmarket, the Royal Mile and a plethora of Harry Potter themed cafes (some of which were even frequented by J.K Rowling herself!).  

Lively atmosphere 

One of the things guests love most about a stay at Black Ivy is the fun and lively atmosphere that is found at both our bar and restaurant areas. With friendly staff, delicious drinks and an excellent choice of seating options, Black Ivy is the perfect spot for both guests and visitors to sit back, relax and enjoy a delicious meal or a sip on a tasty cocktail.  

We proudly boast a stunning outdoor drinking and eating area; Our outdoor Park View Terrace.  

The Terrace is open late every night of the week, serving drinks until 1am. You can also enjoy al fresco meals up until 10pm, with plenty of outdoor canopies and heaters to give some guarantee of warmth even in Scotland’s unpredictable climate.  

Get to know the locals who visit our Bruntsfield terrace or catch up with your fellow hotel guests and travel companions as you sample our cocktails and soak up the lively atmosphere in our Outdoor Terrace. We strongly recommend booking a table in advance for our Terrace if you’d like to enjoy the atmosphere, as it regularly gets busy every night of the week.  

Luxurious rooms 

Luxury hotels rooms in Edinburgh tend to come at an unreasonable price. A quick search of the best hotels in Edinburgh will show you room rates of £400+, and that’s just the baseline! 

At Black Ivy’s boutique hotel in Edinburgh, we like to do things a little bit differently. We pride ourselves on offering local luxury for less.

Guests can choose between a range of room choices, all of which have en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, complimentary tea and coffee services and included White Company toiletries.
