Edinburgh Gin, one of Scotland’s most beloved spirits, is set to open a brand-new distillery and visitor centre right in the heart of our historic city. Located at The Arches on East Market Street, just a short stroll from our hotel, this state-of-the-art facility promises to be a must-visit attraction for our guests.

The Edinburgh Gin Distillery at The Arches offers an unrivalled and immersive way to experience the craft of gin-making. Visitors can explore the rich history of gin in Edinburgh, learn about the carefully chosen botanicals that contribute to Edinburgh Gin’s signature flavors, and witness the distillation process firsthand. The distillery features two impressive 2,000L copper stills named Annie and Lina, paying homage to two of the first female gardeners at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

For our guests looking to enhance their Edinburgh experience, the distillery offers four distinct immersive experiences, including The Classic Tour & Tasting and The Gin Making Experience. Led by expert Distillery Ambassadors, these tours provide a unique glimpse into Edinburgh’s role in gin history and allow visitors to fully engage their senses. After the tour, guests can enjoy a perfectly crafted gin cocktail at the chic bar or pick up a souvenir at the on-site shop. With its blend of rich heritage, craftsmanship, and stunning views of the Edinburgh skyline, this new attraction is sure to be a highlight of your stay at The Broughton Townhouse.
