 Georgian splendour |
39-43 Albany Street Edinburgh EH1 3QY United Kingdom +44 131 556 0397 http://www.albanyhoteledinburg... |
Quietly situated within walking distance of Princes Street, this Georgian town house is an attractive and convenient place to stay in the New Town. Business travelers and overseas visitors tend to favor the Albany. This intimate setting was exquisitely refurbished in 1997 and now provides individually designed rooms with a home from home ambiance. In the basement the Haldanes Restaurant serves sophisticated European fare. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The height of luxury |
1 Princes Street Edinburgh EH2 2EQ United Kingdom +44 (0)131 556 2414 http://www.thebalmoralhotel.com |
This splendid building was initially built in 1902, but has been completely refurbished by its new owners, Rocco Forte. The results are impressive, an excellent blend of Edwardian character with thoroughly modern amenities. Striking an imposing figure, it dominates the east end of Princes Street, affording superb views of the Castle, Gardens and Old Town and is handily situated beside Waverley Station. As one of the leading exclusive hotels in the world, expect great variations in rates according to the season. Review © 2007, Wcities |

West end exclusivity |
35 Drumsheugh Gardens (West End) Edinburgh EH3 7RN United Kingdom +44 131 226 6050 |
This renovated town house hotel is well known for its comfort and elegant style. Art deco furniture and splashes of colour contrast with the original Victorian architecture, giving the building a dynamic, modern edge. Many rooms contain new work by Scottish artists and rear rooms offer wonderful views across the Firth of Forth. The oak-panelled contemporary surroundings of The Bonham restaurant compliment the beautifully prepared European influenced dishes served. All this quality, allied with state-of-the-art technology in every room, has led to a "coolest hotel" award from Conde Nast Travellers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Five-star luxury suites in the west end |
7 Rothesay Terrace Edinburgh EH3 7RY United Kingdom +44 131 226 3380 |
This is an exquisite and discreet Georgian mansion block on a leafy crescent in the heart of the residential west end. From the outside, you'd never guess it was a hotel (no prominent sign to indicate such) and in fact, it's much more like a series of serviced apartments, each differing in decor but alike in their opulence. The large bay window in the reception will give you a taste of the available views - over the Dean Village and the Water of Leith towards the majestic Holy Trinity church and Stockbridge beyond.
