Edinburgh is a city of hills, castles and stone terraces, and its small hotels make the most of the setting. Some occupy Georgian townhouses in the New Town, others sit in the shadow of the castle on the Royal Mile or in grand houses on the city's edge.
The New Town offers wide Georgian streets and easy access to shopping and restaurants. The Old Town is atmospheric but steep and busy, while villas in Newington and around Arthur's Seat feel quieter and more residential.
The city is packed in August during the Festival and at Hogmanay, so book months ahead. Hotels are usually fully walkable from the main sights, and the airport tram reaches the center in about half an hour.
