For those who love Edinburgh but don’t want
to rest their heads amidst the hustle and bustle
of city centre life, Orocco Pier provides an
alternative. Just 20 minutes away from the
heart of the city, this boutique hotel provides a
unique blend of charm and Scottish hospitality.
The numerous awards bestowed upon this
bijou hotel attest to both its comfort and to the
quality of food on offer - dining certainly isn’t an
afterthought at Orocco. Good wine and fresh
seafood are served up in abundance here,
with plenty of cheer but zero pretentiousness.
A minimalist modern bar takes care of pre and
post-dinner drinks, while al fresco dining is held
on the Orocco’s charming pier. If the prospect of
a relaxing, stress-free visit to Scotland’s capital
city appeals, Orocco Pier might just be the place
you’ve been looking for.

Named after that part of the whisky barrel which is
lost to evaporation – affectionately known as the
angel’s share – the hotel can be found on Hope
Street in the New Town, with Princes Street just
a short walk away. Standard rooms are anything
but standard, with Egyptian cotton sheets,
flatscreen TVs, iPod docking stations, stationery,
fine Scottish toiletries, dressing gowns and a fully
stocked minibar. Angels Share Hotel is a popular
retreat for weekend breaks and, due to its central
location, is particularly prized for retail excursions.
In the evening, the hotel’s Club Room is the place
to head for locally sourced food that’s been cooked
to perfection. Enjoy a sumptuous meal from the
a la carte menu before unwinding at the cocktail
and whisky bar which is stocked with an enviable
selection of single malts. It’s the perfect end to the
perfect day in the perfect Edinburgh hotel.
