The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection

"You have to be here to get the mystery, drama and the magic of the place – photography strangely cannot do the place justice. When the 170-year old Lady Glenorchy Church was converted into The Glasshouse Hotel, the group YTL Hotels transformed it into a stylish comfort zone: magic beds, down duvets and reassuring service. It’s all about the location: you can see Calton Hill and the entire glittering Edinburgh skyline below from most of the rooms – and that’s not to mention the astounding views from the sprawling two-acre rooftop garden. With the Edinburgh Fringe Festival scheduled to be taking place from 6-30 August, expect the Glasshouse to be humming with the great and good of the theatre world."
