Hotel Review
Market Street Hotel, Edinburgh, Scotland
WHAT WE LOVE...
How anyone managed to squeeze a 98-room hotel into a tiny gap site beside Waverley Station is a mystery; producing something so modern but still sympathetic to its surroundings is nothing short of a miracle. This attractive sandstone and glass tower reflects the Old Town style, while the interiors are Scandaweigia comes to Old Reekie with acres of window and oak and high-end, often custom-made contemporary furnishings throughout. From the downright sexy, sleekly functional bedrooms to the fabulous eyrie of a rooftop bar/lounge, this is design chosen by someone who knows what's desirable and what works, better than most. The attention to detail, such as the freshly roasted coffee and milk frothers in the bedrooms, or the complimentary champagne on arrival, is a nice touch.
