Careers

Everything run by James Thomson is designed to impress.
Food Illustrated

Prestonfield is part of a growing collection of innovative restaurants and hotels owned by renowned Scottish restaurateur and hotelier. James is described by Time Out as "Edinburgh's star restaurateur" and was recently named Restaurateur of the Year by Caterer & Hotelkeeper, joining an eleite academy that includes Heston Blumenthal, Gordon Ramsay and Sir Terance Conran as former winners.

Prestonfield is Edinburgh's highest-rated hotel and is one of just five hotels in Scotland to hold both the AA's rarest accolade, a coveted five red stars and five gold stars from VisitScotland too.

As you would expect, standards are high throughout all of James' collection, but if you are looking to further your career with an innovative industry leader, then we may just have the position for you. We are passionate about giving our guests exceptional and memorable experiences and have a strong and ongoing commitment to developing our staff's skills and expertise too. You'll also find that we have a passionate commitment to sustainability and best environmental practice - we are proud to have been awarded a Gold Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

Many of us who work alongside James have been with him for a decade or more. Some have developed their careers in different parts of the collection, whilst others have developed new and different roles as their careers have progressed. All share the same exceptional passion for delighting our guests which is why one of our Managers, Derek West, is fronting VisitScotland's latest campaign to encourage guests to visit Scotland and meet some "real Scots!"

Prestonfield offers a wide range of career options.
