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.
13. Eden Locke - 'Studio apartments made for hipsters'
Condé Nast says: Eden Locke calls itself an aparthotel for self-sufficient people staying in downtown Edinburgh, but don’t be put off by the description. From the street it looks just like any other classical New Town Georgian townhouse: staid and rather imposing. But inside, the Mint Julep walls, wicker chairs, tropical plants and rag rugs on pale oak floors beat the ubiquitous tartan to the punch. This place is a hipster headspin.' Photo: Third Party
14. The Dunstane Houses - 'A super-smart boutique hotel'
Condé Nast says: 'This 16-room William Playfair-inspired Victorian townhouse in Edinburgh's West End has huge fireplaces and ornate cornicing reflecting the building's solid Victorian past. Peacocks strut their stuff across bedroom wallpaper, there are Persian rugs, velvet sofas and free-standing copper bathtubs.' Photo: Third Party
15. Third Party
Condé Nast says: 'The place makes for a particularly charming winter bolthole with open fires, hot-water bottles and shelves stacked with vintage books. This is self-catering on a different level, worthy of a celebration - and it's just two minutes from Princes Street and the city centre'.
