The Edinburgh Hideaway That Feels Like a Private Members’ Club

Set in a Georgian townhouse, the hotel feels more like a private members’ club than a hotel. In part, that’s due to its size - there are just 29 rooms and suites. In part, it’s due to the fact that it’s a residential hotel: The bar, restaurant, and other facilities are open only to hotel guests. But in large part, it’s due to the graceful attentiveness of the staff. The service is impeccable but not pretentious - everything feels utterly seamless.
