When to go?

The cosy décor and lack of outside space lends itself to pampering winter weekends away, but the prime Festival location means you’ll have to book early if you want to book a room during August. The proximity to the city’s sights and attractions should provide plenty of incentive for a trip at any time of year, however.

Save to favouritesPrintMailHotel du Vin EdinburghThis 2008 opening from one of the UK's best-loved small hotel groups occupies a plum spot near the castle in Edinburgh's World-Heritage-listed Old Town. As with all Hotel du Vin properties, it makes the most of a historic heritage, having been largely converted from a former poorhouse lunatic asylum. The result is as far from a lego-like new-build as possible. Instead, in its tall rooms and multi-level layout, the architecture cleverly mimics the steep, warren-like closes and higgledy-piggledy topography that characterise the neighbourhood. The interior design, too, honours the historic and characterful, but with a contemporary twist. Look out for the vast chandelier made from suspended crystal glasses that shimmers over the lobby. There are classic leather armchairs, internal glass walls, a whisky snug, a nouveau Scottish bistro, and (unlike some of the more showy hotels that have recently opened in Edinburgh) just a smidgen of tastefully subdued tartan. A great example of contemporary Scottish style.
