Edinburgh Boutique Hotels

Our selection of Edinburgh's boutique hotels. All offer some form of online booking with immediate confirmation of your reservation.

Boutique hotels have become something of a cliche but in our time of poor emotional economy, why slum in three star stylelessness when you can have at least one night of pleasure for the senses. Boutique hotels offer experience and distinctiveness over the international hotels that tend to dominate everywhere. Is a boutique hotel better than a normal hotel? Can we even spot the difference if they don't tell us that we are staying in a boutique hotel? We are not sure, but we have decided to give them their own section so you can see what is available around town.

If you are looking for something a little less pricey, but still quality, you can also check
