This magnificent Georgian townhouse features sumptuous rooms, each with a 42-inch plasma TV, DVD player, and slate bathroom. Among the cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s New Town, it is 2625 feet from Princes Street. Individually designed with unique furnishings, the rooms at Nira Caledonia feature luxury goose feather beds and goose down pillows. Some offer large, floor-to-ceiling windows, a private garden, or a relaxing spa bath. Guests can enjoy breakfast in their room. The restaurant and bar, which is set to reopen in May 2018, serves fresh cuisine with Scottish, and often organic, ingredients. The bar provides a range of over 25 Scotch whiskeys.
This is our guests' favorite part of Edinburgh, according to independent reviews.
