Best Luxury Hotels in New Town
When the Georgian upper classes grew tired of living in the (then) grimy, cramped, Old Town, a New Town was formed. Erected over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, grand spacious sandstone residences with separate servant’s quarters opened out onto large stepped entrances lit by lanterns. Nowadays, this is the area to peruse high-end boutiques and department stores, wine and dine along the glitzy George Street and enjoy views out across the Firth of Forth. Many of the neoclassical buildings are now hotels, offering swift access to railways, coach and airport connections.
