This studio looks like a stylish members' club with its plush berry red-hued chairs, shutters and period fireplace – we love the rich colours here, as well as the character features. Pour a glass of wine or mix up a cocktail at the bespoke kitchenette and relax. Then get ready with the environmentally-friendly complimentary toiletries, made with natural ingredients, in the modern bathroom with its terrazzo-style tiling and head for an evening out at one of the nearby restaurants and bars.
The next day, do some shopping on George Street and Princes Street, both are a one-minute walk away. Or for a spot of culture, the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art and the Scottish National Gallery are eight minutes on foot, while the Museum on the Mound and the National Portrait Gallery are both an eleven-minute stroll. Edinburgh International Conference Centre is just a three-minute wander, and the University of Edinburgh, the Old Town and the Royal Mile are all under a twenty-five-minute walk. You can't visit the city without seeing the iconic Edinburgh Castle – it's a twelve-minute amble, while St Giles' Cathedral and St James Quarter are a fifteen-minute saunter.
