"Peace and quiet are not your usual city-break accoutrements, but this lovely Kimpton property, away from the bustle on Edinburgh’s discreet Charlotte Square, breaks the rules. This is the most charming, intimate Edinburgh bolthole more akin to a chic, low key members’ club. It’s a mishmash of velvets and hanging tapestries, against a rich colour palette of blues, golds and reds in the hotel’s fabulous restaurant Baba, which is a much welcome change from the eurocentric dining options most Edinburgh hotels offer."
