The Resident Edinburgh
If you want to mix great golf with a proper city stay, The Resident Edinburgh gets the balance right. You are in the smart West End, a short walk from Princes Street, with straightforward access out to East Lothian, Gullane and North Berwick when it is time to tee it up. It suits golfers who want more than a bed for the night, giving you a comfortable base in the city without making course-day logistics a chore.
Sitting at 15 Drumsheugh Gardens, the hotel brings the same considered philosophy that has made The Resident's London and Liverpool properties well regarded. The location works well on two fronts. You can enjoy Edinburgh properly in the evening, then head out towards East Lothian for morning tee times without battling across the city from the wrong side. North Berwick, Gullane and Muirfield are all realistic options for a day trip, while Bruntsfield Links and other courses around the capital give you shorter-drive alternatives when you want to keep things local.
The Resident Edinburgh is a smart choice for golfers who want a well-run, characterful city base without the impersonal feel of a large chain hotel. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed and offer more flexibility than many city hotel rooms in a similar bracket, the location is well placed for both Edinburgh's cultural life and East Lothian golf, and the lounge, with its fireplace and whisky selection, gives you somewhere genuinely worth returning to at the end of the day.
For groups building a Scottish golf break around East Lothian's links, it strikes a good balance between city comfort and course-day practicality. The mini-kitchen setup, the usable room layout and the relaxed communal spaces all work in your favour over a multi-night stay. If you want a base in the capital that earns its place in a serious golf itinerary, The Resident Edinburgh delivers.
Who is this for?
Golfers, couples and solo travellers who want a stylish, well-located Edinburgh base that offers genuine comfort and character rather than anonymous chain-hotel polish.
Who is it best for?
Golfers pairing a Scottish golf itinerary with proper city time, group organisers who want a flexible base that works for mixed-interest trips, and anyone who values quality British design and thoughtful hospitality alongside easy access to some of Scotland's finest links.

Accommodation at The Resident Edinburgh
The 164 rooms at The Resident Edinburgh are arranged across a range of categories, from Standard Doubles through to Junior Suites, and every one of them is designed around the idea that a hotel room should feel like somewhere worth staying in, not just sleeping in.
You enter through a proper hallway, which immediately sets the tone. To one side sits the signature mini-kitchen, fitted with a Nespresso machine, a Brita filter tap, a microwave and a small fridge stocked with drinks and fruit. It is a practical, considered touch that gives you genuine independence, and for golf trips it is especially useful. Whether you want coffee sorted before an early tee time or somewhere to keep things simple after a late return from the course, the setup works in your favour without any fuss. The extra hallway space also helps the room feel less cramped over a longer stay, which matters if you are in Edinburgh for several nights and combining golf with time in the city.
Beyond the kitchen, the room opens into a flexible dining and working space before leading through to the bedroom itself. The beds are a bespoke design exclusive to The Resident, available in King, Super King and Twin configurations, and they are well made and genuinely comfortable after a full day on the links. The palette throughout is warm and considered, with green cushions, rich throws and framed bespoke artwork on the walls. Special edition Paul Smith Anglepoise lamps add a distinctive touch, a nod to the quality British design that runs through the whole property.
Bathrooms are finished in grey stone-effect tiling with walk-in rainfall showers, and the Junior Suites also feature a separate bathtub, which is a welcome addition after a long round in changeable Scottish weather. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed and offer more flexibility than many city hotel rooms in a similar bracket, particularly given the kitchen setup and the amount of usable space.
Selected rear-facing rooms and certain Junior Suite categories can enjoy attractive skyline outlooks, with castle views available from specific room types. It is worth requesting your preferred aspect at the time of booking. The Junior Suites also have their own balconies, which on a clear Edinburgh evening give you a fine spot to wind down with a dram before heading out for dinner.
For groups or couples combining a few nights in the city with a multi-course East Lothian itinerary, the Junior Suite is worth the upgrade. The additional space, the bathtub and the outlook make it a noticeably better base for a longer stay, and the room genuinely earns its place as the standout category in the hotel.
