 West End Georgian |
6 Grosvenor Crescent Edinburgh EH12 5EP United Kingdom +44 131 225 7033 |
An intimate, family-run Georgian hotel, the Afton is very close to Haymarket Station and overlooks private gardens (to which guests have access). Set in the elegant surroundings of Grosvenor Crescent and with St Mary's Cathedral nearby, this is an ideal central base for those seeking respite from the tourist throng. Marvel at the grand staircase which is made bright and dramatic by the classical columns that surround it and natural light that streams in from above. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A converted church with its original belltower, this superb hostel is to be found in the west end where it overlooks the Dean Village. A funky, cosy atmosphere prevails, despite the building's original purpose. There is a licensed residents' lounge, a pool table and darts board amongst the many entertainments and amenities on offer. In the summer, barbecues are held in the garden and a 24 hour reception welcomes late arrivals. For those seeking an alternative to dormitory sleeping, there are private rooms available. Overall, this is a well-maintained and certainly unique place to stay. 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.
