Set beside a charming private garden in the New Town, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel blends traditional glamour with the Scotland of today. Outside, the hotel's classical Georgian exterior stands as an ode to Edinburgh's past. But inside, a glass-topped central courtyard is abuzz with activity. Below the hustle and bustle, a tranquil spa and Fitness Centre provides respite for weary travellers and locals alike. The atmosphere is so refreshing you’ll want to bottle it and bring it home. But then again, it feels too distinctly Edinburgh to make sense anywhere else.
