Edinburgh Guide: Overview, Hotels & Travel Writing

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s elegant architecture, iconic castle, first-class museums and raucous nightlife are a magnet for visitors year-round. But the city really comes to life in late summer when the Edinburgh Festival attracts thousands of actors, performers and film makers from across the world.

Of course, there's also an impressive range of boutique hotels and luxury hotels in Edinburgh that offer different experiences to suit your mood. Channings is an intimate, townhouse-turned-boutique hotel, The Balmoral oozes five-star luxury with Michelin-starred food and Prestonfield is a quirky, gothic retreat with kilt-clad staff on the outskirts of town.
