Edinburgh is all stairs and cobbles, so the best hen parties start at the flat rather than in a taxi queue — and a butler in the buff is what makes those first few hours worth staying in for. He greets the group, pours the drinks and runs the games.
We have staffed parties from Old Town flats to Grassmarket and New Town townhouses since 2022. Booking a butler in the buff in Edinburgh starts from £170 for two hours.

BOOK a buff butler in EDINBURGH from the best IN THE BUSINESS
Butler Direct supplies an experienced, professional and genuinely charming butler in the buff across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Edinburgh hen weekends usually run out of a New Town flat or an Old Town apartment near the Grassmarket, with a long afternoon indoors before anyone heads down to Cowgate or George Street.
Our butlers cover that afternoon — drinks poured, party games run, everyone photographed and warmed up before the group leaves the flat.

Your questions about Edinburgh
How much does it cost to hire a butler in the buff in Edinburgh?
Hiring a butler in the buff starts from £170 for two hours. Cocktail masterclasses start from £25 per person and life drawing classes from £17.50 per person, and we will put a package together if you want more than one.
How far in advance should I book?
Most Edinburgh groups book six to twelve weeks ahead. Saturdays between April and June go first, so if your date is fixed it is worth getting in early. We can often help at shorter notice too, so it is always worth asking.
Which parts of Edinburgh do you cover?
All of it — the Old Town, New Town, Grassmarket, Leith, Stockbridge and out across the Lothians. Whether you are in an apartment, a hotel suite or a rented house, we come to you.
What does a butler in the buff actually do?
He arrives in collar, cuffs and bow tie, greets your group, serves the drinks, runs the games and keeps the food and the party moving so nobody in the group has to host. You set the tone and he reads the room.
Can you do a butler in an Edinburgh Old Town apartment?
Yes — Old Town and New Town apartments, Grassmarket flats and Leith stays are all regular bookings. The butler hosts the afternoon before the group heads out to George Street.
Is there a minimum group size?
No. We cover everything from a handful of friends to large hen parties, and Butler Direct has been running since 2022.
We also cover Glasgow · Newcastle · the Lake District — and the rest of the UK. See every area.
MAKE YOUR EDINBURGH HEN WEEKEND UNFORGETTABLE
Welcome to Butler Direct — quality butler in the buff hire across Edinburgh. Whether you’re planning a hen do before a night in the Grassmarket, a birthday in a New Town flat, a corporate event or something else entirely, a butler in the buff from Butler Direct is exactly what you need.
Edinburgh has two extra things to plan around. The Festival takes over most of August and accommodation prices go with it, and Hogmanay books out further ahead than anywhere else in the country. Outside those, spring and early summer Saturdays are the ones that go first.
We pay our butlers some of the best rates in the industry while keeping our prices lower than the competition. A well-paid butler is a happy one, and a happy butler in the buff always puts on the best show. We only work with the most enthusiastic and reliable butlers in Edinburgh, with zero tolerance for anything less than professional behaviour.
A cocktail masterclass in the flat is the most booked option here, and for good reason — it beats queueing on a wet George Street, and it gets a group of thirteen properly warmed up before you go anywhere.
