Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Though we only stayed one night the Apex Waterloo was a delight. We arrived in the early afternoon, way before check-in but we were upgraded to a two story accommodation that was available immediately (for which we were grateful after a long flight)! We were surprised to find air conditioning. Most hotels in Scotland do not have it and the summer days can get quite warm. The hotel location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. We enjoyed cocktails in the lounge after our day of sightseeing and breakfast was wonderful. The hotel stored our luggage while we toured the castle and unfortunately, we did not have time to enjoy the pool or spa but we will definitely return! Thank you!"

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.

Booking a historic hotel in Edinburgh doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
