Tigerlily
Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom · Independent · Near Luxury
Tigerlily opened in 2006 in an A-listed townhouse at 125 George Street, Standard Life's old offices, with a 1960s block built onto the back. Jim Hamilton kept the oak panelling and the cornicing, designed 33 rooms, and opened a basement club called Lulu underneath. The house lets ten rooms now. Montpeliers still run it. You come in off George Street, in the New Town, and the evening is still why the address works.

About Tigerlily
- The 2006 plan was 33 rooms: two Georgian suites, seven mini-suites, and a restaurant of about 200 covers.
- Jim Hamilton designed the original rooms and came back for later public-room refits. A 2022 redo took out the silver bead screens in the bar.
- The townhouse runs to five floors, and the bedrooms use both the Georgian front and the 1960s block behind.
