"Just ten minutes to the west of Edinburgh’s city center is a hotel that’s hardly a hotel at all. The Roseate Edinburgh is a pair of Victorian-era neoclassical houses, one across the street from the other, divided into a total of 35 rooms. We’ve seen smaller, to be sure, but it’s rare that a city hotel room so perfectly captures the atmosphere of a bedroom in a classic country house. The proprietors are from Orkney, and they’ve brought as much of the charm of the Northern Isles with them as they could — the only thing missing is an ocean view." - Tablet Hotels
