Built as a Victorian townhouse of stone and bay windows, the Bruntsfield Hotel, looks across the open green of Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh, Scotland, in one of the city's most appealing specialty shopping districts. The setting balances quiet with quick access to the centre.
Behind the stone front, individually designed bedrooms run through the house, each a calm retreat, while a restaurant and a bar carry the feel of old Edinburgh and period detail runs from the staircase to the sitting rooms. Staff who know the city well are on hand to point you toward the right close, gallery, or table, and the shops of the district begin at the door. The Meadows and its tree-lined paths open just beyond the Links.
Beyond the Links the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh rise into view, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the medieval Old Town and its castle on the crag meet the ordered Georgian streets of the New Town, laid out from 1767 and a model for European town planning ever since. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and Princes Street are a short way north, while Arthur's Seat lies close to the green side of the city. Book your stay at the Bruntsfield Hotel, WorldHotels Elite and let old Edinburgh rise up beyond the Links.
