"Moored in Leith beside the Royal Yacht Britannia, I boarded Fingal—the city’s only floating hotel—and found five‑star service from the moment I stepped aboard; cabins cleverly reference the ship’s history with bowed, polished wooden walls and subtle Scottish touches, while a fine‑dining restaurant and bar on board maintain the high standards you’d expect from a sister ship to the former royal residence." - Rosie Conroy
"This ship-turned-luxury-hotel offers a romantic experience, with a glamorous, yacht-like guest experience. The 237-foot ship includes 22 style cabins, a deck, and a restaurant and bar. Key features include a private deck, a separate living space, a dining table, a super king-size bed, and a complimentary minibar in the Skerryvore Suite." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Fingal A 237-foot ship built in 1963, the Fingal is now a luxury floating hotel, docked a short walk from the Royal Yacht Britannia in the Port of Leith. Following a multimillion-dollar refurbishment, the converted boat—once used to service lighthouses—now features 23 sumptuous cabins complete with rain showers, heated floors, smart TVs, and maritime-inspired decor. Some come with private balconies or second levels, while the penthouse suite includes separate living and dining areas. Also on board are decks for stargazing and sipping champagne, an elegant ballroom with a grand staircase, and a panoramic restaurant and bar serving breakfast, afternoon tea, craft cocktails, and dinners of seasonal Scottish fare."
"The newly restored and entirely refit Fingal hotel makes its debut, with rooms starting at £300 ($383) a night (including a full Scottish breakfast). Each of its luxe cabins—all with porthole windows, eight with private balconies, and one a Presidential Suite featuring a deck big enough to host a cocktail party for 80—will have its own look. 'No cabin is the same because on the ship nothing is square, so every angle is completely different,' says Thomson. 'All the joinery and woodwork are bespoke.'"
"Housed in a former 1963 lighthouse ship permanently moored on the Edinburgh waterfront, this floating luxury hotel offers 23 sumptuous cabins—each named for a different lighthouse—featuring rain showers, underfloor heating, Wi‑Fi, smart TVs and maritime-inspired touches; some cabins include private balconies, mezzanine levels or a penthouse with separate living and dining areas. Onboard amenities include a panoramic restaurant and bar, an 80-person ballroom and outdoor sunset cocktail spaces, and the Leith base places guests within walking distance of Michelin-starred restaurants and other local attractions." - Sandra Ramani
