A former national newspaper headquarters — the North Bridge landmark with its distinctive Italian Renaissance facade — converted into one of Edinburgh's most atmospheric luxury hotels. The Scotsman's stainless steel pool (one of only two such pools in the UK) and the whisky bar with 300+ Scottish malts are the standout amenities. Location at the top of the Royal Mile between the Old and New Towns is hard to improve on. The North Bridge Brasserie has thoroughly strong reviews.
