Several of us are visiting Edinburgh for a wedding early next year. We were due to stay at The Balmoral, but have been very unimpressed in recent visits (decor and service): it seems to have faded in recent years. An alternative being considered is The Howard, does anyone have any views on this hotel please, or other recommendations?
Given the age range in our party, funky boutique hotels are probably out as well. Thanks!
The George and the Glasshouse are probably the best hotels in Edinburgh, IMO, having spent a lot of time working there recently. The Glasshouse on the Boutique end, but just beautiful.
Malmaison at Leith water worth considering also.
Avoid the SAS like the plague.
For out of town, I am a fan of the Norton House, especially if you get a room in the older part of the hotel (Main house)
