Dining in a range of venues is another nice perk: in addition to our contemporary dining room, you can host your family at a catered dinner in our private dining room, connect with a friend over a drink in our lounge, drop in for a snack in the bistro while you read the newspaper, or have a cup of tea under a colourful umbrella on our sunny terrace.

Service is just as important to us as the quality of our meals at Chartwell New Edinburgh Square.

Together, they create a lovely dining experience and atmosphere in our newly-renovated dining room.
