It notes that it is located “right on the Royal Mile, moments from the castle gates” and added: “Inside it’s all wood panelling, velvety furnishing and lots of soft candlelight.
“It’s the perfect bolthole for the most romantic minds. The library (suite) even has a secret door (hidden in a bookcase) and the rates include a bottle of champagne.”
Room rates at the hotel start from £475 per room, per night.
It came in 19th place overall on the Big 7 Travel’s top 50 most romantic hotels in the world, but was the highest ranked in the UK.
A range of factors were considered for the list, including reader suggestions and TripAdvisor review scores, along with those that offered “unique romantic experiences, room facilities and luxury”.
Elsewhere on the list The Newt hotel in Somerset was named as the second-most romantic hotel in the UK and was placed 26th on the list overall.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
