These Edinburgh hotels are among the best accommodations in Scotland’s beautiful capital. Cobblestones and crescents, Georgian terraces, palaces and castles, Edinburgh was described by British Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman as “the most beautiful of all capitals of Europe”. Edinburgh-born novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote Kidnapped, Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, said of his hometown in Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes (1879), “you turn a corner, and there is the sun going down into the Highland hills. You look down an alley, and see ships tacking for the Baltic.”He called it “half a capital and half a country town.” Contemporary writer Alexander McCall Smith also sees Edinburgh as "a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.” You can witness all this and much more during your sojourn. These Edinburgh hotels will help you make the most of your visit and discover the city’s charm and heritage.
