The hotel buildings are part of Edinburgh's history, dating back to 1872 when the building was originally designed and developed. In the creation of the hotel, when the interiors of three original townhouses were converted and combined into one stunning property with 29 luxury apartments, every care was taken to restore the architectural features to their former Georgian splendour and to retain the highly welcoming atmosphere of a real home, bringing back to life the Georgian house on the quiet West End Terrace, a refreshing alternative to a five-star hotel. The 29 rooms (of which 8 are suites) are spread over 5 floors. Facilities include a foyer, a 24-hour reception desk, a safe, a cloakroom, a lift, a conference room and wireless Internet access. Guests may make use of the room and laundry services as well as the car park. Guests may enjoy a memorable experience in this hotel, which offers an incomparable level of space and luxury for business and leisure travellers.
