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!
