Welcome
to The King James, Edinburgh!
The King James Hotel is located near Edinburgh’s world-famous Princes Street, and a short walk from the historic Royal Mile. Whether you’re here for work or pleasure, to visit the Edinburgh Fringe Festival or to see in the New Year at Edinburgh's Hogmanay, you’re guaranteed a warm Scottish welcome.
An elegant, comfortable hotel, perfect for exploring all Edinburgh has to offer. Which of the seven Scottish Kings named James lends his name to our Edinburgh hotel isn’t clear. But The King James is a suitably royal name for a hotel located just off Edinburgh’s world-famous Princes Street, and just a short walk from the Royal Mile, dominated by Edinburgh Castle at one end and the palace of Holyroodhouse, still the Queen’s official residence in the Scottish capital, at the other.
Close to Edinburgh Waverley station, and with six meeting rooms, the largest seating up to 250 theatre-style, The King James is ideally placed for business meetings and other events; we’re also one of Edinburgh’s most popular wedding venues..
