History
Old Town Chambers is a collection of luxury serviced apartments set within Advocate's Close, a medieval close just off Edinburgh's Royal Mile in Scotland. The apartments occupy a cluster of 11 tightly-packed 15th- and 16th-century buildings, including the historic Bertram / Cor House, which pre-dates 1490 and is considered one of Edinburgh's oldest surviving townhouses.
The buildings were sensitively restored as part of the Advocate's Close redevelopment, a roughly £45 million scheme by the Chris Stewart Group that began in 2009. Old Town Chambers opened in 2013, now part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, blending centuries-old Old Town fabric with contemporary serviced-apartment luxury.
