Lead image: The Dunstane
Three new city boltholes have opened providing the perfect solution when you have visitors coming to town or fancy an indulgent night away.
The pied a terre
Edinburgh’s first design-led aparthotel Eden Locke has opened its rather chic doors on George Street. The new six-storey destination fuses the comforts of an Airbnb with the design, service and amenities of a hotel. Each studio room features a fully-equipped kitchen and living area with L-shaped sofa and Smart TV, as well as cocktail kits, bespoke natural body care from Kinsey Apothecary, teas from T2 and organic granola from Rude Health.
Rooms from £110, lockeliving.com
The after-party pad
Rabble (formerly Rick’s) has 10 boutique rooms fully kitted out to tick all your bolthole needs: ultra-comfortable beds, plasma TV, Bluetooth speakers, fully stocked Smeg fridge, Nespresso machine, GHD hair straighteners and hairdryers, and luxury Gazelli skincare products. And with breakfast served from 8am-12 noon, you can have a helluva long lie too.
Rooms from £125. rabbleedinburgh.co.uk
The boutique bolthole
The Dunstane Houses, as pictured below, is a one-of-a-kind family-run boutique hotel: a relaxing, contemporary sanctuary that blends the story of the Capital with the Orkney roots of its owners. 35 bedrooms are styled to balance timeless tradition and modern comfort. And the Ba’ Bar is home to one of the widest selections of rare and vintage whiskies in Edinburgh. Luxurious, relaxed and unlike anywhere you’ve ever stayed before.
