The Albany is an independent hotel at 39 Albany Street, a quiet Georgian street in the New Town, fully refurbished in 2025. It keeps the original character of the townhouse with modern rooms: smart TV, free wifi and en suite bathrooms throughout, with a 24-hour reception. It joined NovaBid as a founding partner alongside its sister property, The New Town Hotel.

For a work trip

Albany Street is residential and quiet, which matters after a long day, and still close to everything: the St James Quarter is about 400 metres away, Waverley station about 800 metres, and the Castle five minutes by car. With singles, doubles, twins, triples and quadruples, it suits a team that wants the option to share.
