The Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel is ideally located in Edinburgh’s Old Town section and directly on the Grassmarket. The Grassmarket was once one of Edinburgh’s main market places, which included the sale of livestock that grazed on grass in the market — hence the name!

Today, the Grassmarket is lined with restaurants, shops and hotels. It is situated below ground level and offers an amazing view of Edinburgh Castle above. Stepping out from the Apex Hotel, you can’t help but gasp at the sight of the castle above. The Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel offers families comfortable and modern rooms with complimentary Wi-Fi. There is an onsite restaurant, an onsite parking lot (rare in Edinburgh) and an indoor pool only a few yards away. Families looking to be centrally located within Edinburgh’s Old Town will love a stay at this modern hotel.
