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.
