14 Best Hotels in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on the south side of Arthur's Seat, this hotel certainly makes a statement. You pass through grand gates before glimpsing the country house's unique exterior, which has symmetrical wings topped with chimneys and an imposing portico. It's all quite puritan, especially compared to the wink-and-a-nod furnishings inside. Prestonfield House is one of the city's most renowned five-star hotels, with a location within walking distance of all the key sights—and all the bustle of the Fringe's top venues—while feeling like a world away. A cab to Princes Street is just 10 minutes." - Krystin Arneson
