Special Feature: Floating hotel experience on historic vessel

“Spending a night on the Fingal feels more like joining a private club than checking into a hotel. I appreciate its quiet location in Leith, removed from the tourist bustle, yet still close to the Royal Yacht Britannia. The nautical theme doesn't feel kitsch, but rather like a respectful nod to the ship's history, all while enjoying what I consider a modern, luxurious experience.”
