nothing special except the building and the price. The location is awesome and very convenient, but the hotel facilities are average...i.e. you could find this in other hotels at half the price. So it is an experience because the building is very nice, but price/quality...More

the district’s busy main roads. Lothian Road connects to southern Edinburgh and harbors a vague entertainment district: three theatres and the city’s main indie cinema. All attract a select crowd, the sort who appreciate the Saturday Edinburgh’s Farmers’ Market around the corner. The West End’s other great thoroughfare, Shandwick Place, is dominated by trams trundling out to the suburbs and airport, and shoppers picking up last-minute items before hopping aboard.
