Michelin Guide
"Impressive two acre roof garden. Stylish bedrooms."
Concierge
"Arguably, the nicest feature is the hotel's roof garden. Replete with lawns, an arch-shaped covered deck, and all-weather armchairs, it's the only one in the city."
Travel + Leisure
"Built around the neo-Gothic façade of a 19th-century church, the Glasshouse Hotel contrasts old stone with contemporary, metal-framed glass walls." Full review
Rough Guide
"This ultra-hip hotel has 65 chichi rooms with push-button curtains and sliding doors opening onto a huge, lush roof garden scattered with Philippe Starck furniture."
Star Service
"What it lacks in facilities it makes up for in the service department: free shoeshines, complimentary business cards, free Wi-Fi and adept 24-hour room service." Full review
Frommer's
"The floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the city's skyline to the front or open onto the neatly trimmed two-acre rooftop garden at the back." Full review
Time Out

Jetsetter

The Telegraph
8.0
"Don’t let the high-Gothic entrance fool you, The Glasshouse features lots of groovy furnishings (including a snug/bar complete with fire bowl), a fab rooftop garden, retro-styled bedrooms overlooking the city or garden and a restaurant that only opens when it feels like it, it's a little off-piste - but in a good way."

Star Service
"This hotel lacks the historical ambience of the Caledonian (now part of Waldorf-Astoria) and instead takes a more contemporary stance with more international than local flavor." Full review

"Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh sits in the shadow of the famous Edinburgh Castle and charms guests with its castle views." Full review
Frommer's
"The staff are as slick and professional as you'd expect in the Sheraton's UK flagship." Full review
Independent
"The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is worth coming to for its outdoor hydropool alone, which boldly strides across the rooftop"
