Nestled in historic buildings dating back to 1595, at the very gates of Edinburgh Castle, The Witchery is a destination steeped in centuries of romance and history. Founded by James Thomson in 1979, this iconic establishment has earned a worldwide reputation for its spectacularly atmospheric dining and lavish accommodations. Visitors can choose between two candlelit dining rooms: the legendary oak-panelled Original Dining Room, or the enchanting Secret Garden. Both offer a menu showcasing the very best of Scotland's natural larder, from Scottish game and beef to fresh West Coast seafood, all served alongside an acclaimed wine list.

The opulence extends to nine unique and theatrical suites, each a lavishly decorated, gothic masterpiece. Adorned with four-poster beds, velvet-lined walls, and free-standing silver baths for two, they offer a truly indulgent stay. Beyond its renowned restaurant and hotel, The Witchery offers a meticulously crafted collection of gifts and exclusive treats in its shop, reflecting the timeless elegance of its interiors and showcasing some of the UK’s best designers and makers. 

A beloved institution for both locals and celebrities, The Witchery provides an unforgettable and magical experience in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town.
