Located just 10 minutes by car from Edinburgh’s city centre, and across the street from Hampton House, this hotel in a Victorian mini-mansion is anything but stuffy. It may come with preserved original features, but it’s enjoyed a design-led transformation into sleek boutique property. Picture deep, dramatic colour palettes, bold wallpapers, tasteful tweeds, warm Persian-style rugs and original artworks and photography. Bedrooms are stylish, with the larger rooms featuring Instagrammable baths, oversized sofas and four poster beds. Facilities are minimal but you can enjoy a substantial breakfast in the house or head over the road for a drink and all-day dining at Hampton House’s Ba’ Bar with its comfortable Chesterfield sofas. Free parking is available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
