“Just a short distance from Edinburgh Waverley station, this boutique hotel struck me as an elegant place to stay, especially for anyone prioritizing culinary experiences, and features a Michelin-starred restaurant with frequently updated menus, plus a unique bar exclusive to guests. The hotel's design blends baroque and contemporary styles, and the private garden looks out toward Calton Hill. In my opinion, it's a sophisticated choice in the heart of New Town.”
