Condé Nast’s writers have included a few old favourites in their list, but there are one or two lesser-known names in there too.
Take a look through our picture galley to see what Condé Nast considers to be the Capital’s best very hotels.
5. Principal Hotel Charlotte Square - 'Colourful townhouse hotel with feelgood weekend flavour'
Condé Nast says: 'It’s a Penguin Classic of a hotel – part Arthur Conan Doyle, part Muriel Spark, and set-designed with real attention to detail: with prints, maps and memorabilia in the petrol-blue drawing rooms riffing on the golden age of travel – the kind of salon that explorers such as David Livingstone or Mungo Park would be at ease in, peering out onto the square from behind velvet drapes.'

6. The Pavilion at Lamb's House - 'A house to rent by the sea'
Condé Nast says: 'Tucked next to Lamb's House (built in 1610 at Leith Harbour for local merchant Andrew Lamb), The Pavilion is an 18th-century-style new-build. Kitted out in pretty shades of Farrow & Ball, it sleeps up to six and has a great set-up for anyone visiting the city for a few days.' Photo: Third Party
7. Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh - 'A fashion-forward hotel in Edinburgh's Old Town'
Condé Nast says: 'Doormen wearing designer kilts and Nike Flyknit trainers are the only reminder that Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh was once the Missoni. That, and its enviable central location by the Royal Mile. The recently refurbished rooms are fitted out with vibrantly coloured furniture, shaggy rugs, patchwork throws and velvet curtains. There are five penthouse suites and the best view of the nearby castle is from room 507.' Photo: Third Party
8. North Bridge Lofts & Lord Lyons Chambers - 'Self-catering apartments in the centre of town'
Condé Nast says: 'Once there were printing presses in the basement and carrier pigeons in the loft of The Scotsman newspaper building. Now, there are 10 self-catering apartments - North Bridge Lofts - sandwiched into the former editorial offices. Interiors are seriously smart in white and grey and solid Victorian fire safes (which once housed staff wages and probably a few of the nation's secrets) have since been converted into walk-in showers.'
