It opened this week and also has boasts self-contained three-bedroom and bathroom homes with private kitchens and lounges which can be booked by those looking for extra space.
Interiors feature period features, mid-century furnishings and brushed brass fixtures.
A hotel spokesman said: 'The Hoxton is located in the heart of Edinburgh's West End, where Victorian and Georgian architecture rules, having been a hub for the city's expansion in the 19th century.
'A stone's throw from the city centre, the hotel serves as an ideal base to visit iconic cultural hotspots such as nearby New Town, Murrayfield Stadium, Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat.

'This vibrant area is fast becoming a destination in its own right, loved by locals and visitors for its rich culture, culinary hotspots and elegant historic charm.'
The Hoxton was launched by co-founder of sandwich chain Pret A Manger Sinclair Beecham when its first hotel was opened on the grounds of a former car park in Shoreditch, London, in 2006.
The brand has since opened more than a dozen sites across the world, including in Amsterdam, Paris, Chicago, Los Angeles, Berlin and Rome.
Guests at the Edinburgh branch can dine in trattoria-style bistro Patatino, where classic Italian cuisine meets traditional Scottish fayre.

And customers will receive complimentary Brompton bike hire and 'mates' rates' discounts at nearby gyms and fitness studios.
