The winds have been gusty, but the overcast clouds have begun to part, letting the sun take peeks at intervals, ushering in the most awaited months of what is a very short summer in Edinburgh. The Roseate Edinburgh, the best boutique hotel in Edinburgh, is all set to warmly welcome our cherished guests all through the summer month of August!

The first weekend of August will see the city teeming for the opening acts of the historic Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, bringing with it the contagious and inspiring energy of the performing arts. The streets will overflow with performances from the finest opera, dance, music, and theatre groups from around the world. This festival is the best place for you to experience, recognize, and celebrate cultures from across the globe.

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2024

The programme for the Edinburgh International Festival is slated to have around 161 performances from over 2000 artists from 42 countries under the theme, ‘Rituals that Unite Us’ wonderfully devised to reinforce in all of us a sense of community.

EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024

The Edinburgh Fringe 2024 will bring with it 276 shows across 31 venues: children’s shows, cabaret, dance, physical theatre, spoken word, musicals and opera, comedy, and more.

ROYAL MILITARY TATTOO 2024

Creative explosions around the city will not stop there. The low rumble of marching drums and haunting skirls of bagpipes will fill the air at the Royal Military Tattoo this time of the year, drawing in crowds of hundreds to witness an exemplary display of military and musical prowess from bands all over the world.

At the Roseate Edinburgh, we understand that this spurt of invigorating yet intense itinerary can be taxing for our new, or seasoned guests and we ensure we go the extra mile for you.

Our luxury hotel in Edinburgh is centrally located—a charming property right on your way to the Old Town, yet tucked a little further away off the main tourist street. It is secluded, yet within a comfortable walking distance of all major tourist hubs and festival centres, making it the ideal choice for festival-goers.

After an exhilarating day of festival hopping, the Roseate Edinburgh offers you the perfect recluse for quiet reflection and relaxation, just the sanctuary you were hoping to find. We offer a set of 35 rooms and suites that are elegantly furnished, blending modern comfort with classic charm. The Victorian townhouse stays true to its character, instantly welcoming you to forget the tiring outside and step into another world, replete with plush pillows and indulgent warm baths to sink into.

Even without the festivals, Edinburgh in summer is a beautiful place to escape the world and a stay with us could be just what you or your family need. Our renowned and beloved in-house restaurant, The Dunstane Restaurant & Bar, serves a delicious menu prepared with premium, seasonal, and locally sourced Scottish ingredients. We also offer a delightful menu for a sumptuous experience of the best afternoon tea in Edinburgh, perfect for a quiet evening, or for unwinding after a day of exploring the vibrant Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

What to Pack

While summer is warm, rain in Scotland should never be unexpected. We recommend carrying:

The Roseate Edinburgh caters to your need for something refined, relaxed, and charming. We welcome you to a holiday full of adventures, with quiet corners of contemplation and retrospect.
