Indulge in a stylish stay on George Street, one of Edinburgh's most well-known streets and home to famous bars and restaurants including The Dome, The Ivy, Dishoom and the Cafe Royal. Bay windows have views of the castle, the Firth of Forth and, of course, the timeless Georgian architecture right outside your door. Cook up neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes, for the uninitiated) in the large kitchen corner, which comes with everything you need, hidden behind sleek, white cupboard doors. Serve up at the table in the sunny bay window with a view straight to the castle. After a tough hike up Arthur's Seat, refreshen up using the Bulgari toiletries in the bathroom and sink into your sumptuous tufted bed.

About New Town

Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
