From our guides
Our take on W Edinburgh
“Opened in November 2023 in the curling Ribbon building at St James Quarter: 244 rooms and suites, a rooftop bar with 360-degree views from the castle to Arthur's Seat, and Scotland's first SUSHISAMBA; the lively, modern pick.”

The Balmoral

Gleneagles Townhouse
St Andrew Square, New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland
The estate's city clubhouse in a grand former bank on St Andrew Square: The Spence under the banking-hall dome and the rooftop Lamplighters bar for members and guests; country-house warmth in the New Town; LHW member.

Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh - The Caledonian
West End of Princes Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The 1903 Caledonian Railway hotel, "the Caley", at the far end of Princes Street from the Balmoral: Peacock Alley in the old station concourse, a Guerlain spa and the castle filling the front windows; Hilton Honors points apply.
9.0Excellent · 2,264 guest reviews
Prestonfield House
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
A 1687 baroque mansion in its own parkland beneath Arthur's Seat, with peacocks on the lawn and Highland cattle in the fields: candlelit, tapestry-hung rooms and the Rhubarb restaurant; minutes from the Old Town, a world away.
9.6Exceptional · 457 guest reviews
The Witchery by the Castle
Castlehill, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Theatrical gothic suites (four-posters, tapestries, antiques) in 16th-century buildings at the top of the Royal Mile, above the candlelit restaurant: Edinburgh's great romantic splurge, with only a handful of rooms; book months ahead.
9.5Exceptional · 241 guest reviews
Kimpton Charlotte Square
Charlotte Square, West End, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Georgian townhouses on Robert Adam's finest square, knitted into a warm, playful hotel: an indoor pool and spa (rare in central Edinburgh) and Baba's Levantine cooking; the best all-rounder for families.

W Sydney
Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia
Marriott's W in the Ribbon building over Darling Harbour: an infinity pool above the water, loud design and a busy bar scene; the scene pick rather than the serene one, well placed for the harbourside and the convention centre.

W Santiago
Isidora Goyenechea, El Golf, Santiago, Chile
The design-and-nightlife pick in El Golf: a rooftop pool and bar with Andes views and the city's liveliest hotel scene; the younger alternative to the Ritz-Carlton, with Bonvoy points too.
