"A deeply romantic hotel that takes you back in time The Witchery by the Castle would be Count Dracula's choice of hotel were he to visit Edinburgh, and you may feel apprehensive about encountering him as you climb the stone turret staircase into the Inner Sanctum on your way to bed. One of the hotel's nine suites, the Sanctum is swathed in crimson, claret, and port, and styled like a scene from a vampire movie staged within a Gothic castle. Feast on classics like Lobster Thermidor in the restaurant, then wallow in a claw-footed, roll-top bath before climbing into a huge four-poster bed made from an old church pulpit. Children are not welcome at the Witchery, although they would probably enjoy the experience even more than you. Address: 352 Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NF Price: From around $1,073 per night"
