Located just off of Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh is The Glasshouse. Ideally placed for shopping and sightseeing, it is surrounded by a wealth of designer boutiques, trendy bars and restaurants.

The facilities

The star of the show is the lavender-scented rooftop terrace, complete with Japanese style garden; a complete haven from the bustling city below. Extensive meeting room facilities adjoin, making this an ideal base for business travellers. They are fully equipped with media equipment, including LCD projectors, VCR/DVD players, surround sound stereos, PA system, lighting control and video conferences.

Breakfast is served in the Observatory Room, to a backdrop of sweeping city views. There's also a well-stocked honesty bar in the Snug, perfect for late night drinks.

The rooms

Each of the 65 rooms at The Glasshouse is decorated with a rich, spicy palette. Rooms have unique glass and stone bathrooms and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Luxury goodies include Frette bed linens, Korres toiletries and complimentary shoeshine, and all rooms are kitted out with CD players, access to a music library and wifi.
