The Caledonian Edinburgh

The Brand

Part of Hilton's Curated Collections tier of brands, The Curio Collection by Hilton operates bespoke, uniquely designed destination hotels. Each Curio Collection property is handpicked for its character and offers an authentic, curated experience.  

By blending boutique aesthetics with Hilton’s renowned standards of hospitality, the Curio Collection delivers the best of both worlds: the individuality and charm of a boutique hotel, coupled with a first-class guest experience. 
 

The Hotel

Affectionately known as 'The Caley' by locals, The Caledonian Edinburgh is one of Edinburgh's most iconic properties. Built in 1903 as part of the old Caledonian Railway Station, the five-star hotel sits at the west end of Princes Street, offering breathtaking views over Edinburgh Castle and a host of the city's historic and cultural attractions.

241 well-appointed guest rooms & suites are located across seven floors, each space resplendent with soaring ceilings, and plush interior design that nods to the property's Victorian heritage. 

 

Guests can indulge in exceptional dining experiences, including Dean Banks at The Pompadour, celebrated for its seasonal menus, or unwind at the relaxed all-new social hub The Court.A standout feature of the property is the luxury spa, which offers an array of treatments, an indoor pool, and a fully equipped fitness centre.

Business travellers can book premium meeting & event spaces, including the 300 occupant Castle Suite.

 

The Technology

The Caledonian sought to upgrade its in-room entertainment system, aiming to reflect its five-star guest experience and cater for the growing army of digitally connected guests.

Airwave implemented a cutting-edge entertainment solution featuring:

LG 55UR762H Hospitality TVs

55-inch flat-to-wall mounted screens were installed in the guest rooms, providing a low-footprint, modern aesthetic, and high-definition, HDR content.

 

A Uniguest Hub TV Entertainment System

Uniguest Hub acts as a centralised platform, delivering a seamless and interactive entertainment experience through customisable information pages, designed by Airwave's technical team. Features include:

  • a multiday Electronic Program Guide (EPG) supporting live TV programming
  • details about the hotel’s dining experiences, including on-screen QR codes for direct reservations or menu access.
  • real-time dynamic weather updates, ensuring guests can plan their day in the unpredictable Edinburgh weather.
  • integrated on-demand apps, including YouTube and Netflix, catering to the growing ubiquity of on-demand content consumption.

 

The Caledonian's new system—delivered in phases—helps enrich the guest experience, combining convenience and modern connectivity.

Everything about the Caledonian Edinburgh, is great!  The location, the amenities, and especially the guest room entertainment system. I thoroughly recommend staying here.
