Cozy Up with 160+ Whiskies Around an Indoor Fire Pit at This Boutique Edinburgh Hotel - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"A five-star, attainable-luxury city-center hotel that opened in 2003 and now celebrates its 20th anniversary, housed partly in the former 170-year-old Lady Glenorchy Church. The property offers 77 rooms including 20 expansive suites (the largest at 89㎡), many named after classic Scotch whisky distilleries and accompanied by nightly gifts that honor their titles. Guests can enjoy a vast rooftop terrace and garden, a brasserie open daily for breakfast with views toward Calton Hill, in-room Nespresso machines, large-screen TVs, free Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk and concierge service. The on-site whisky-focused bar features an indoor fireplace and knowledgeable staff who guide tastings or craft custom cocktails, while turndown service elevates the stay with a dram from the suite’s namesake distillery, a printed Scottish poem, and shortbread cookies. Conveniently located within walking distance of major attractions and a short walk from the main train station, the hotel positions itself as an elegant base for exploring Edinburgh; rates range roughly from $230–$745 per night and the closest airport is about a 20-minute drive."
