Where to Stay in Edinburgh

Where medieval mystery meets literary legend

Gothic architecture, haunted closes, whisky bars, and the literary heart of Scotland.

Travel Guide

Edinburgh is a city layered like its own geology — the medieval Old Town sits atop volcanic rock, connected to the elegant Georgian New Town by bridges spanning deep valleys. This is where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter in café windows, where Robert Louis Stevenson walked the streets that inspired Dr. Jekyll, and where the world's largest arts festival transforms the city every August.
