WHAT WE LOVE...

Said to be Edinburgh's oldest hotel, this stately New Town beauty is a class act. Less impersonal than most international chains, it feels quietly civilised; its lightly contemporary, smartly tailored bedrooms are an oasis of calm after a day of hectic sightseeing - you can walk to the Old Town in ten minutes. If you're big on bling this probably isn't the place for you, but it's perfect for anyone who likes the idea of an on-trend coffee shop with a reputation for great baking, a laid-back bar and a relaxed restaurant, not to mention some of Edinburgh's best shopping on the doorstep.

THE DETAILS

Location

Opposite the hotel is The Dome is a former bank turned glamorously grand bar and restaurant. It is an Edinburgh institution, especially when decorated for Christmas.

In the heart of New Town, the hotel is extremely close to Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens and Holyrood Palace.
By car: from Glasgow around 1 hour, from Newcastle around 2 hours 40 minutes and from Manchester just over 4 hours. Free street parking between 6:30pm-8:30am (12:30pm on Sunday). Guests also get a discount for the nearby St James Quarter car park.
By train: from Glasgow Queens Street around 50 minutes, from Manchester Picadilly around 3 hours and from London Kings Cross around 4 hours 45 minutes. A taxi from Edinburgh Waverley station takes around five minutes. thetrainline.com

Style & Character

The hotel will suit anyone who wants a smart, central hotel with a subtle air of refinement. We love the references to the building's distinguished literary connections, such as Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and 19th-century novelist and publisher, Susan Ferrier.

Service & Facilities

The remarkably peaceful lobby is an attractive place to peruse the news (and latest magazines), which you can download free of charge.

Rooms

We love the skilful mix of contemporary and traditional furnishings - sympathetic to the building but with an elegant, fresh feel. Request a room on a higher floor in the modern Forth Wing; they're bigger and
brighter with great views.
