Edinburgh hotels Taylor Swift: Rooms sell out and prices skyrocket ahead of gig

With Edinburgh having just welcomed Beyoncé, Harry Styles and Bruce Springsteen, we've all seen how busy the city can get when a big name comes to town.

After Taylor Swift announced her Eras tour, with two dates here in the capital, it would be expected that hotels in the city would see a rush of bookings - despite the dates being just less than a year away. However, from what we've checked you'll be lucky to get a room at all.

Out of 25 hotels in Edinburgh, we set out to compare prices before and after the tour was announced. In the end, it turned out 22 of them were already fully booked for both June 7 and 8 when Taylor is in town.

We used booking.com to compare the prices, and while we looked at both dates the price comparisons were made from June 8. The prices are also based on a one-room, two-person search.

Of the three that had rooms left, only one hadn't raised its prices for the dates - The Place Hotel, which kept its £266 for one night pricing. Edinburgh Castle Apartments, before the tour announcement, was £250 a night.

They've now raised this to £1,100 a night. The third hotel which still had rooms left was Toby Carvery Edinburgh West, which before the tour announcement would have been £149 for two adults.

Now, they only have single rooms left so two adults would be split up and it would cost them £418 for the night.
