Hip n' happening! |
2 Greenside Place Edinburgh EH1 3AA United Kingdom +44 131 525 8200 http://www.theetoncollection.c... |
The Traveler Magazine said that The Glasshouse is the hippest place to rest your head, when in Scotland. Don't get confused when the concierge lists the various names of scotch whisky - he's not guiding you through the bar menu, but actually listing out the names of the various suites. Taking full advantage of its location, the hotel offers beautiful views of the city. What better way to view Firth of Forth or Calton Hill than within the comforts of your own room! A better option would be a room with a terrace, where you can always go for a breath of fresh air. There are various packages available - if you're on your honeymoon, you would want to opt for the 'Love is in the air' suite, which comes with a Sauna Jacuzzi-King Bed. Enjoy your stay!

Opened in 1843 by Sir Robert Cranston, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the Old Waverley is one of the best-known and most central hotels in Edinburgh. The present impressive facade dates from 1883 and looks onto Princes Street Gardens. It has all the usual modern conveniences with a dose of traditional character, but really it's the views that inspire here - Edinburgh Castle and the Scott Monument can be admired from many of the rooms. The Waverley Lounge bar is a pleasant place to sip cocktails while savoring the scene outside. Cranston's Restaurant serves up a variety of Scottish-Euro fare for modest prices.
