3 Best Day Trips From Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler
"Doormen clad in kilts and a soothing dram of whisky provide an instant warm welcome at Hotel du Vin, a 49-room boutique hotel set in five refurbished 1886 townhouses. Original oak-paneled walls, open fireplaces, and stained glass windows transport you to a simpler time when whisky snugs and cigar bothies were commonplace—though the rooms are outfitted with distinctly modern features like rainfall showers, hand-sprung mattresses, and L'Occitane products to balance things out. It feels like the best sort of Scottish country home, complete with sincere hospitality." - Danielle Bernabe
