It seems only fitting that a visit to such a notable historic city should be accompanied by a stay in a hotel with a past. Built-in 1852, the captivating five-star Roseate Edinburgh straddles two impressive Victorian townhouses, once known as the Dunstane Houses. You’ll be delighted by several original features, such as the charming old chimneys. Full of heritage and old-world splendour, it is elegantly decorated and boasts modern comforts.
Wonderfully positioned in a quiet part of Edinburgh’s West End, you’re just a short walk to Haymarket, the gateway to the Old Town since the 1860s - with its train station and tram stop making it easy to access all the top sights. From tourist highlights such as the Royal Mile with its bagpipers and tartan shops running through central Old Town to the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith, the buzzing and now hip port district.
Whilst there are many great dining options across the city, the hotel’s Dunstane Restaurant and Bar offers the best of Scottish cuisine, and its menu is prepared with excellent seasonal local produce. You can choose from a wide selection of ales brewed in regional microbreweries, over thirty types of artisanal gins and over a hundred whiskies, many from the Highland's famous breweries and distilleries.
Sunsets are spectacular in Edinburgh, and a climb up Arthurs Seat, the city's ancient volcano, is a perfect spot to admire them with its 360-degree views. From here, you can also look towards the Firth of the Forth, the estuary that meets the North Sea. Make sure to embrace the beguiling Scots culture whilst here, from live folk music sessions in local old pubs to feasting on haggis and toasting to new friends and an unforgettable stay with a dram of whisky.
