"The oldest hotel in Edinburgh is looking remarkably fresh after a renovation at the hands of its new owners; the InterContinental Hotels Edinburgh The George spans five Georgian townhouses plus a modern addition, and its interiors pay tribute to its architectural heritage while subtly updating the atmosphere for 21st-century travelers. The accommodations are suitably lavish, with all the comforts you expect of a top-flight luxury hotel, and the facilities are very nearly encyclopedic, lacking only a spa. The restaurant, Le Petit Beefbar, is a globally inspired steak and street food joint." - Tablet Hotels
