Fodor's Expert Review Fingal
Alexandra Dock, Edinburgh, EH6 7DX, Scotland
For something completely different, step aboard this floating boutique hotel, permanently moored near the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith. Inside are 23 luxurious cabins, each named after a different Stevenson lighthouse and beautifully decked out with wood paneling, deep carpets, and locally woven tartan throws. For added porthole-sized views across the Firth of Forth, request a starboard room. The hotel's Lighthouse Bar offers light meals and inventive cocktails in a relaxed environment.
PROS
- out-of-the-ordinary luxury
- close to Leith's best bars and restaurants
- quiet and peaceful
CONS
- no room service
- dinner is underwhelming and overpriced
- a little way out of the center
