St James Quarter

St James Quarter in Edinburgh is the first of a new kind of shopping destination and one of the most significant city centre transformations in the UK. The stunning shopping galleria houses over 80 brands, an enticing mix of restaurants and bars, a boutique Everyman Cinema and a Roomzzz Aparthotels. St James Quarter will also soon host the luxury W Edinburgh.

A naturally ventilated, canopy-roofed galleria is a two minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley and boasts some of the best views the city has to offer. Easily accessible by bus, tram, train, bike, car, and on foot, make St James Quarter the heart of every Edinburgh trip.

The New Town of Edinburgh, master planned in the 1700s by James Craig after he won a competition to design the area, possesses a distinct energy and an ongoing history of mixed-use spaces.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the New Town became a haven for writers, printers, and publishers. The W Edinburgh at St James Quarter references this legacy with its ribbon design, which represents printing press paper unspooling.

St James Quarter is a place where you can shop, dine, play, and stay – continuing the New Town’s proud prominence in Edinburgh’s development. They continue to open exclusive new stores, restaurants, bars, entertainment, and more. Because the unexpected is always just around the Quarter.

You can find shopping, bars, restaurants, entertainment, and more at the heart of the city centre. Swing by and see for yourself.
