Welcome to Abbey Strand Apartments at Holyrood

Tucked behind one of the city’s most storied facades, each residence has been thoughtfully restored to showcase its quirks, from age-old fireplaces to worn stone walls, all while offering every modern comfort.

With just nine individual apartments, Abbey Strand Apartments at Holyrood is as exclusive as it is characterful.

Over 500 Years of History

From 15th-century almshouses to royal residences, Abbey Strand has long been part of Edinburgh’s living history. Its walls have housed artists, aristocrats and ordinary citizens alike. That layered past is still present – in every worn stone, vaulted ceiling and spiral stair – thoughtfully restored for contemporary stays.
