The King James Hotel Edinburgh is located near to Princes Street in the centre of the Scottish capital, just a short distance from the popular and well-known Royal Mile. The four-star hotel takes its name from one of the seven Scottish kings that have rules of the years. The King James Hotel is around 42 miles from one of its sister venues in the country’s largest city Glasgow, while there are also other hotels from the same group in Inverness and three in Aberdeen. The Thistle hotels each try to ensure the physical comforts of the guest are met and Edinburgh’s Thistle is no exception.

Edinburgh proves an enjoyable place to stay for those visiting the city with its various attractions such as the dominating Edinburgh Castle, its milieu of shops most notably along streets such as the Royal Mile and its range of restaurants, bars and clubs. As the country’s capital Edinburgh is home to the Scottish Parliament as well as the Queen’s official Scottish residence Holyrood house. In addition, Edinburgh is famous for its New Year’s Eve Hogmanay celebrations, while it also hosts a film festival every summer too. And it is against this backdrop that the Thistle Edinburgh, or the King James Hotel, finds it home – in one of the UK’s capital cities, in the shadow of impressive buildings and amid numerous activities. Conveniently, the four-star Edinburgh hotel is less than a mile from the city’s main train station while the International Airport is approximately eight miles away.
