My Recommendation
Based on the hundreds of reviews I've read, I would recommend staying at The Prestonfield House Hotel if you're looking for a truly unique experience in an unusual luxury boutique hotel resembling more a stately home in a rural setting than your average city hotel experience but only if you can live with the fact that it's outside of Edinburgh city centre.
