Where candlelight flickers across tapestries, shadows dance along antique floors, and whispers of history linger in every corner, The Witchery offers a Valentine’s experience unlike any other. Nestled beneath the gaze of Edinburgh Castle in the heart of the Old Town, it is a place where romance unfolds slowly, indulgently, and memorably. Celebrated by Big 7 Travel as the most romantic hotel in the world, The Witchery has become a destination for lovers seeking timeless luxury and intimate decadence.

Begin your evening in our candlelit dining rooms, where gilded mirrors, hand-painted ceilings, and sumptuous tapestries set the scene. Delight in a menu crafted to satisfy the senses, paired with exquisite wines, and let the atmosphere of intimacy and history make every bite unforgettable.

For those who wish the evening would never end, The Witchery’s nine legendary suites promise a night — or two — wrapped in pure indulgence. Each is utterly unique, theatrical in spirit and lavish in detail, offering its own story of romance beneath the shadow of Edinburgh Castle.

Ascend the ancient turnpike stair and discover interiors of polished antique floors, carved oak panelling, rich velvets and soaring tapestries. In some, roll-top baths made for two invite you to linger side by side; in others, dramatic salons glow in black and gilt, perfect for candlelit conversation long into the night. Everywhere, four-poster beds dressed in sumptuous fabrics await, promising a sleep as decadent as the evening that came before.

Gaze across medieval closes and Old Town rooftops, toast to one another in complete privacy, and allow the centuries-old walls to cocoon you from the world beyond. Whether you choose baroque extravagance, crimson drama or quiet, historic grandeur, each suite offers the same delicious certainty — romance lives here.
