Crisp, high-thread cotton linen for a beautiful night’s sleep. Stunning bathrooms with invigorating monsoon showers. Home comforts of 48” HD TV with Sky Package & Sky Sports. It’s the detail that sets us apart from other hotels in Edinburgh. Immerse yourself in the heart & soul of Dakota: the Grill. Our urban-chic, open plan restaurant is famous for steak. We source our prime cuts from grass-fed UK-bred beef, supplied by Scottish family butchers. With the lightest touch, we season and grill our steaks to perfection over hot coals. Seafood lovers will discover a range of mouth-watering fish dishes, from simple grilled cod to our signature monkfish curry. Be tempted to complete your dining experience by selecting one of our deliciously divine desserts.
