Best Luxury Hotels in Old Town

The Scottish capital’s oldest district dates back to Medieval times. Its long history has been well-preserved in the steep winding cobbled streets, narrow wynds and towering crammed buildings. Originally built on a glacial ridge, the Old Town is also home to a castle set atop a dormant volcano and a palace, as well as a vast number of tourist attractions and the most notable modern building, the contrasting Scottish Parliament. Its main artery, The Royal Mile (named after the two regal residences at either end) forms the heart of the annual Fringe Festival and a meeting point for almost all of the city walking tours. Here are our favourite 5 star and luxury hotels in the Old Town
