The Spirited Soul of Your Stay
The Glasshouse Whisky Story
Whisky is the spirited soul of The Glasshouse, an essential thread in the fabric of your stay. We honour Scotland's rich distilling heritage through curated lobby displays and design inspired by iconic distilleries.
At the heart of this narrative is The Snug, our intimate whisky bar. It is home to an exceptional collection of rare and contemporary Scotch, where our connoisseurs guide you through Scotland’s distinct regions and celebrated flavours.
This story extends to our rooms and suites, each named for a celebrated Scottish distillery. The character of each namesake is celebrated in original artwork by Edinburgh-based artist Liana Moran, adding a layer of authentic local connection.
To deepen the experience, The Glasshouse hosts exclusive monthly tasting events in collaboration with leading distilleries, inviting you to explore the full depth and nuance of Scotland’s national spirit.

Where Edinburgh’s Past Meets Modern Sanctuary
Lady Glenorchy Church
The Glasshouse extends its welcome through the historic façade of Lady Glenorchy Church, a place of worship for 170 years. This architectural dialogue, where Edinburgh’s storied past meets serene modernism, begins at the threshold. The preserved building now forms the hotel’s striking entrance, a portal to tranquility. Beyond it, a calm, contemporary lobby unfolds. Here, under the watch of original stone and arch, space and light create an atmosphere of refined sanctuary. It is an immediate immersion into an experience where the weight of history is gracefully balanced with the comfort and sophisticated ease of a singular hotel.
