The Scotsman Hotel (5 Star Deluxe Hotel)
After some early wobbles, the Scotsman Hotel has settled into being one of the top five five star hotels in Edinburgh. A superb location in the old Scotsman Newspaper Press and printing building overlooking Princes Street makes it absolutely ideal and the winding corridors make it feel very secret and hidden away once you have found your room. The feeling is baronial meets boutique even if other boutique hotels have overtaken it in that respect. On a cold winter's night, there can be nothing finer than settling beneath the Scotsman's plaid rug with a tint of whisky after a day in the stone streets of Edinburgh.
