Fodor's Expert Review The Witchery by the Castle
352 Castlehill, Edinburgh, EH1 2NF, Scotland
For a giant helping of Gothic romance, you can't beat the indulgent suites at this gorgeously appointed Castlehill hotel. Every themed suite—choices include the Library, the Guardroom, and the Turret—is appointed with grand antiques, regal furnishings, roll-top baths, and Champagne chilling in a bucket. There are even quirky touches like hidden doors disguised as bookcases. The dining here is just as dramatic: choose from the dark-paneled, 16th century Witchery restaurant or the gorgeous, candlelit Secret Garden.
PROS
- unique and truly romantic retreat
- plush antique furnishings
