Frommer's "The Club Floor is geared toward luxury-minded guests: It has a dedicated elevator, butler service, lounge, and library, along with a champagne and canapé reception every night." Full review
Star Service "This modern, yet unpretentious hotel is similar in quality to the Carlton and bears an equally precious downtown locale although without the views of the castle-facing rooms in the Apex International." Full review

Independent "It’s a short walk to Princes Street Gardens and the Old Town, and the onsite restaurant, BABA, is dog-friendly and serves the best blackened sweet potato with pomegranate molasses you’ll ever taste."
Independent "Right in the centre of Edinburgh’s New Town, Kimpton’s Charlotte Square property has one core asset above every other city-centre property: its own enclosed, private garden"
Independent "City-centre hotels don’t get more dog-friendly than this. “If it fits in the lift, it’s allowed in” is the policy...it’s a short walk to Princes Street Gardens and the Old Town"
