Welcome to the Hotel Caledonia
Edinburgh's very main street is bracketed by two very swish Edwardian era hotels, providing landmarks for visitors: the Balmoral and the Caledonian Hilton. Those count as old classics, but this is also the city where the Malmaison chain was launched and where a phenomenal number of visitors are accommodated during the Festival and Fringe every August. From backpacker hostels to budget Edinburgh hotels and boutique brilliance, the city has it all.
