Behind the unpretentious facade of this 19th-century townhouse is a thoroughly contemporary hotel that encapsulates the vibrant spirit of Edinburgh’s creative West End. Stay two nights in one of the hotel’s uniquely designed bedrooms, each enlivened with bold block colours and high Victorian ceilings, before exploring the rest of the facilities. Guests have the option to sit down to European food, with a Scottish twist, in the onsite restaurant or enjoy a night-cap at the stylish bar. For those who want to explore the local area, Edinburgh’s Old and New Town districts are only a short walk away. Overflowing with bustling boutique shops, cafes, art venues and bars, there’s plenty to keep culture vultures and leisure lovers satiated
