Fly from Cork this December and spend three days exploring Edinburgh's beautiful Christmas Markets.
Ten Hill Place is one of Edinburgh's premier city centre hotels. From airy public places to each of the 129 smart bedrooms, the mood of Ten Hill Place is one of quiet sophistication.
This innovative Edinburgh hotel is within easy walking distance of Princes Street, the historic Old Town and the City Centre’s main tourist, shopping and business districts; yet peacefully situated away from the main thoroughfares.
The best of Edinburgh opens up before you right outside our front door. The Festival Theatre is across the road, the National Museums are around the corner and the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood Palace are just a stone’s throw away.
Whether on business or a short city break in Edinburgh, make Ten Hill Place your first choice. Edinburgh offers tourist attractions for all ages and interests.
Ten Hill Place is owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and all profits go back into training surgeons worldwide. Historic and contemporary rooms are available within Surgeons’ Hall for conferences, meetings and social events.
Christmas in Edinburgh is a big event, with Santa's Grotto, an ice rink on St Andrew Square and panoramic views from the top of the Big Wheel.
The main market is held in Prince's Street Gardens with stalls offering traditional European Christmas Market goods. The section on nearby George Street offers Scottish products.
Snap a photo in front of the vintage carousel, browse the handmade crafts, enjoy delicious foods from bratwurst to crepes and warm up with some mulled wine or traditional Scottish Glayva liqueur.
