Channings review Rate it
Noted polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton once lived in these premises, which is why, in recent years, the owners of Channings created three suites and two rooms on a Shackleton theme. Guests can now lie in an enormous bathtub and soak up the narrative from a huge print of his ship, the Endurance, on the wall adjacent. The hotel's other rooms are equally crisp and handsome, with the north-facing accommodation giving views to the Firth of Forth and Fife. It's a discreet hotel that feels far away from central Edinburgh but isn't, and with a decent basement bistro to boot.
