If you’re after a quaint, picture-postcard foil to gritty, cosmopolitan Glasgow, you’re in the right place. This edifying city may be less cool, but it’s no less fun – especially as the festive season comes rolling in.
Many hotels live up to the Scottish capital’s history and innate sense of drama. There are some in historic buildings, with suites stuffed with antiques, rooms designed to the hilt and views to swoon over; others have spas attached; others have Michelin-starred restaurants and bars. Heck, Prestonfield House even has its own parkland. We say treat yourself – but do get out and explore the city while you’re here. To help you find the perfect base, here’s our pick of the absolute best hotels in Edinburgh.
