The Rutland Hotel

By rights we should have included a review of this legendary West End property in our top 20 guide to the best boutique hotels in Edinburgh but it’s a secret we find increasingly difficult to keep. The Rutland Hotel can be found within a heartbeat of all the excitement on Princes Street. Guests will be spoiled by views of Edinburgh Castle and a tasty range of luxuries that include GHD hair strengtheners, iPod base stations, fully stocked mini-bars and complimentary homemade muffins on arrival. This is a full-on glamour trip for those times you need to feel a little bit extra special. The bohemian purr of West Coates and William Street is literally within earshot.
