Venue Description

As you enter you are welcomed into a hall leading into a mini-kitchen which includes microwave, sink, kettle, Nespresso machine, fridge and crockery, cutlery and glassware. Each room is carefully crafted with your needs in mind. There is a vanity area within the bedroom, that seamlessly connects to the ensuite.

For a cosier retreat, the Library provides a serene space to catch up on work, unwind or read a book.

Accessibility

The Resident Edinburgh has been designed with accessibility a key focus. There is a small ramp up to the automatic doors at the entrance to the property. Should you be arriving by car we have two accessible spaces at the rear of the hotel that lead through via a gate to the back entrance where an intercom can be used to enter into the property. The Lobby and Library have ample space for the mobility of wheelchairs with doorways also wide enough to navigate through. An accessible toilet is also available on the ground floor. There are two lifts within the property, both allowing for wheelchair use. We have 8 accessible rooms, one located on each level from Ground to Level 7. The Accessible bedrooms have dropped mini-kitchen areas to ensure all items are available for use. The bed configuration can be either King or Twin. There are two pull cords beside the bed and one within the wet room. The wet room is a roll in shower area with fold down shower seat attached to the wall. There are two sinks available within the wet room, one being at a lower height. In case of an emergency we have two refuge points on each floor and have two evacuation chairs which we have staff trained to use.
