Overlooking Charlotte Square, the classic rooms retain fine period detailing such as intricate cornicing, inlaid marble fireplaces and rich swathes of dark wood. The classics have twin beds, single beds or double beds and they are adorned with the likes of a television and air conditioning.

While the classic bedrooms are fairly traditional in appearance the executives are more contemporary in their outlook. They have extra space and are ideal for those travelling to the Scottish capital for business.

In the modern wing you'll find contemporary rooms with an open aspect across the handsome boulevard that is George Street or startling views across the rooftops to Edinburgh castle. In these bedrooms you are likely to find balconies, domed ceiling and fireplaces, just to make your stay that extra little bit special.

For a truly luxurious stay, the Adam Suite is the room for you, not least for its DVD and movie selection, complimentary canapés and champagne. It has a king bed in its bedroom while its windows overlook Charlotte Square.
