Edinburgh's beauty is staggering, but the city is more than just a pretty face. With the mind‑blowingly diverse skyline, cobbled streets and colourful history. Once a poorhouse, asylum, science lab, and now hotel, the building has taken many guises since it was built in 1743 and is bursting with character. It sits just off the bustling Royal Mile in the Old Town, between Edinburgh's iconic castle and Holyrood Palace.
