Thistle Suites

Thistle Suites is an independent, family-owned hospitality brand offering serviced apartments and aparthotel suites in central Edinburgh. Part of the city since the 1980s, the business grew from a historic Queen Street building into one of Edinburgh’s first aparthotels. Its accommodation combines the space and independence of apartment living with the convenience of a boutique hotel stay, providing a welcoming base for short visits and longer stays.

Suites include thoughtfully designed studios and apartments with fully equipped kitchens, generous living areas and practical layouts. The Royal Garden property is in Edinburgh’s New Town, close to Princes Street, with access to a private residents’ garden. Thistle Suites caters to families, couples, groups of friends and guests travelling for work, with family-friendly arrival touches and better value for extended stays. Guests can book directly through the website for a stated 10% discount using a promotional code. The brand also plans further Edinburgh locations on Princes Street and Frederick Street in 2027, followed by George Street in 2028, expanding its accommodation across the city centre.
