Hotel Review

From the outside, the curve-fronted Rutland Hotel, located on a listed terrace at the end of Princes Street, appears as yet another conservative Edinburgh hotel. But nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, inside this boutique city hotspot, a riot of glitz and glamour presides. Baroque thrones, glossy black chandeliers, animal hides and an alluring palate of spice, scarlet and dark chocolate create a quirky, sensual feel. The sparkly bar and swanky One Below nightclub draw an urbane crowd. Beyond all the pizzazz and gimmicks the standard of service, food and comfort is pleasingly high.
