Edinburgh Hotels

Hotel Albany

Peaceful Georgian terrace close to Princes Street. Pleasant bedrooms, sparkling bathrooms. 39 Albany St, Edinburgh EH1 3QY.

Hotel Bonham

In the same ownership as the Howard, the townhouse hotel is situated in a leafy side street close to the city centre. It has been equipped for the 21st century, with communications technology installed in the calm, contemporary bedrooms; these also feature original paintings by young Scottish artists. 35 Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh EH3 7RN.

Witchery by the Castle

Vivienne Westwood, Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have stayed here – so it’s good enough for you. Why the Witchery? – because hundreds of ‘witches’ were burned at the stake nearby. The only thing to burn now will be a hole in your pocket. Award-winning restaurant. Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 2NF.
