The space

Set in Edinburgh’s characterful Southside, 94DR is a refined three-storey Victorian townhouse made for a grown-up hen weekend with plenty of style, space and atmosphere. Sleeping up to 12 guests in six en suite bedrooms, it gives the whole group room to spread out while still feeling like one sociable house for the celebration. Think high ceilings, elegant period details, contemporary interiors and beautiful shared spaces where everyone can gather for fizz, photos, food and pre-night-out plans.

This is a brilliant choice for hens who want the buzz of the city without compromising on comfort. You are close to Edinburgh’s restaurants, cocktail bars, nightlife and culture, but you also have a private home to return to at the end of the evening. From slow breakfasts in the orangery to evening drinks in the library bar and relaxed catch-ups in the walled garden, the house has a polished boutique-hotel feel while keeping the privacy and flexibility of a full holiday home.

Inside the house

The accommodation is arranged across three floors, with six carefully designed en suite bedrooms sleeping up to 12 guests. That means no complicated bathroom rota before dinner reservations, no waiting around while everyone gets ready, and enough personal space for the group to enjoy a relaxed weekend together. Each bedroom has been created with comfort in mind, giving guests a calm place to recharge after sightseeing, shopping, cocktail-making or dancing until late.

The communal spaces are where the house really shines for a hen party. The drawing room offers a beautiful setting for a relaxed welcome drink, a gift exchange or a cosy night in, while the living areas are ideal for catching up between activities. There is also a media room, which works brilliantly for a film night, bride-themed slideshow, playlist session or a chilled recovery afternoon after a big night out. A games console adds an easy entertainment option for competitive moments and low-key fun before heading into town.

Food and drink are well catered for too. The kitchen gives the group the option to cook together, bring in a private chef or prepare grazing boards and brunch spreads. The orangery is a lovely place to dine as a group, with a bright, sociable feel that suits everything from morning coffee to a dressed-up dinner at home. One of the standout spaces is the library bar, a smart and atmospheric spot for mixing drinks, raising a toast to the bride-to-be or starting the evening in style before heading out into Edinburgh.

Hen weekend highlights

94DR has the kind of features that make a hen weekend feel easy, sociable and a little bit special. The private walled terrace and garden are ideal for time outdoors without leaving the house, whether that is a relaxed afternoon drink, a group lunch, a few photos with the bride or an evening chat around the outdoor wood-burning stove. The BBQ is a great addition for summer stays, giving you the option of a laid-back garden feast before cocktails in the city.

For groups who like to keep the itinerary balanced, the summerhouse gym is a rare bonus. Early risers can fit in a workout, or the group could plan a gentle wellness moment before brunch. While there is no need to make the weekend too virtuous, it is lovely to have that option on site. The media room and games console also bring plenty of rainy-day or pre-night-out entertainment, especially if you are planning hen party games, a bride quiz or a relaxed night in with snacks and drinks.

If your group is hoping for spa-style pampering, the spacious setting makes it well suited to enquiring about bringing in mobile beauty or wellness treatments, subject to host approval. The combination of elegant interiors, en suite bedrooms, garden space, BBQ, gym, media room and library bar gives you a flexible base that can be as relaxed or as lively as the bride wants.

Location & getting around

The Southside is one of Edinburgh’s most appealing neighbourhoods for a hen weekend. It has a local, independent feel, with coffee shops, vintage boutiques, restaurants and bars nearby, while still being close to the city centre and the main visitor highlights. You can spend the day exploring Edinburgh’s historic streets, browsing shops, booking a boozy brunch, visiting cultural attractions or heading out for cocktails without feeling tucked away from the action.

Holyrood Park is only a short distance away, giving the group an easy option for fresh air, scenic walks and views across the city. Edinburgh’s food and drink scene is a major draw, from smart restaurants and cosy pubs to stylish cocktail bars and late-night venues. Taxis and local transport make it straightforward to move around the city, and the central location means you can plan activities without long travel times eating into the weekend.

Whether the plan is a relaxed luxury house party, a packed Edinburgh itinerary or a mix of both, 94DR places you in a fantastic spot for making the most of the capital.
