Channings is an informal, relaxed boutique hotel with a friendly approach. Occupying five Edwardian townhouses in one of Edinburgh's most popular urban villages, this is a great base to stay while exploring all that the city has to offer.

The facilities

Channings offers a small, quiet garden and a sun deck where one can relax after a busy day in the city. In-room massages and other beauty and health treatments are also available to suit any pampering needs.

The restaurant sports a warm and welcoming atmosphere amidst great food and wine. The menu features a variety of modern dishes, which culminates in a cuisine focusing on seasonality and high quality, organic produce. Guests also enjoy a light meal or a cocktail in the boutique hotel's bar.

The rooms

Channings' 46 individually decorated rooms are striking yet elegant, tailored and classic, with a combination of textured fabrics such as linen, silk, suede and velvet and deep, rich colours. Many of the rooms offer breath-taking views of Edinburgh, while others over-look the private gardens.

Each room at the boutique hotel has an in-room entertainment centre with a TV, movies on demand, internet access and a jukebox. There is also 24-hour room service, Molton Brown toiletries and laundry and dry-cleaning service.
