November is the ideal time to get your Christmas Shopping done and in Edinburgh you have a lot of options whether you’re looking for designer brands such as Burberry or Kurt Geiger or quirky individual boutiques.
Thistle Street
This is one of Edinburgh’s best kept secrets. Located between George Street and Queen Street, this lively street in the West End has so much to offer; from beautiful boutiques to delicious restaurants. As a special treat we have arranged for guests to receive a complimentary glass of champagne during their Shopping Spree at Covet!
Our apartments The West End Retreat @Lynedoch Place, Drumsheugh Apartment @ Drumsheugh Gardens and South Charlotte Street @ Charlotte Square are ideally located to explore this hidden gem, only a few minutes’ walk from Thistle Street as well as Princes and George Street where you will find all high street and designer brands.
Multrees Walk
Treat yourself to some luxury shopping this season! Located at the end of George Street, you will find luxury brands such as Hugo Boss or Louis Viton as well as Harvey Nichols. The Edinburgh Tram stops just outside, which makes it even easier to access. The Stylish City Break @ Gayfield Square and the newest addition to our portfolio The Georgian Suite @ Royal Terrace are only five minutes’ walk away. Enjoy a well-earned break at Valvona and Crolla Vincaffe and Ristorante.
Edinburgh’s Christmas Festival will take place from the 21st November- 4th January, only a few minutes from Multrees Walk. Why not combine your Christmas Shopping with a visit to the Christmas Market or a ride in the Big Wheel. There will be a variety of stalls selling food as well as gift ideas and attractions for the entire family.
If you want to treat yourself and your loved ones to something a bit different, why not visit the Hopetoun Christmas Shopping Fair, from the 28th-30th November, only 30 minutes’ drive from the city centre.
There will be plenty of events taking place throughout the festive season to celebrate St Andrew’s Day, Christmas and Hogmanay. Keep an eye out for next week’s blog which will bring you this year’s highlights!
