Major selling points for this hotel include its feel of being tucked away and discreet – even though it's just over 1km from the west end of Princes Street – its boutique aesthetic and friendly staff. Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton once lived in part of the property, hence the Shackleton-themed suites, while north-facing rooms on upper floors have splendid views. Part of the Edinburgh Collection group, its sister establishments include the Howard and the Old Waverley.
