“In Bruntsfield, a boutique stay blends contemporary style with classic comforts, creating a lively atmosphere amplified by live DJ events. I think its location is superb, near the park and offering stylish rooms, while the bar scene is a destination unto itself. It strikes me as a fine balance of local luxury at an accessible price.”
