Our hotels in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's where Apex began three decades ago, and it still feels that way every time the doors open. Three hotels, all within walking distance to the Castle, Princes Street and Royal Mile. Teams who remember the little things, know the city well and help you make the most of your stay. Ideal for festival season, a work trip, or a last-minute city break.
