The original Malmaison hotel retains a feeling of decadence despite a recent expansion. The individual design in the rooms stretches from the large beds right through to the bathrooms. The red sandstone building with an impressive baronial façade was once a seaman’s mission. The hotel overlooks the bohemian shore area of the Port of Leith, and its brasserie is good enough to vie with the surrounding restaurants for non-residential trade, as is the café-bar with its more than adequate cocktails. Central Edinburgh is a 10-minute taxi-ride away. All fi ve of the meeting and conference rooms have natural light.

Edinburgh’s latest boutique hotel has a great situation on the upper floors of the Omni Centre at the top of Leith Walk, less than five minutes from Princes Street. Entrance is through the façade of an old church and, once inside, the more riotous late-night elements of the area seem miles away. The hotel has sumptuous rooms, some with panoramic city views, and a roof garden with views over Calton Hill. There is no restaurant, although there is a breakfast room. The lack of an in-house pool or gym is made up for by the Holmes Place gym downstairs. Business facilities include three meeting rooms and three syndicate rooms.
