Fodor's Expert Review The Scotsman
20 N. Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1TR, Scotland
This magnificent turn-of-the-20th-century building, with its grand marble staircase and its fascinating history (it was once the headquarters of The Scotsman newspaper) now houses a modern luxury hotel. Muted colors and contemporary furnishings decorate the individually designed rooms. For peace and quiet, ask for an upper-story room with a view. The hotel's Grand Cafe serves lunch and dinner—as well an excellent afternoon tea—while snacks and drinks are available in the cozy Hide Bar.
PROS
- gorgeous rooms and public areas
- personalized service
- ideal Old Town location
CONS
- elevators are painfully slow
- Grand Cafe dining is hit-or-miss
- not all rooms have air-conditioning
