Time Out "The Roxburghe is a deceptively large venue with an elegant address, no distance at all from the west end of Princes Street." Full review
Star Service "This elegant 1819 Georgian building may be listed on the historic register, but it offers the features of a big commercial house, including a health center with a 12-meter indoor pool." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Arriving in this modern makeover of a classic Georgian New Town establishment (formerly the Roxburghe Hotel) feels like being welcomed into a country-house party." Full review

"A long-established, 199-room hotel in a city centre location." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"The 199 rooms (including 18 suites) are both stylish and cozy, with hipster accents complementing traditional touches...this is a stylish but relaxed hotel designed for well-heeled guests" Full review
The Guardian "Dinner is a high point, with a tasting menu in Aizle or Middle Eastern dishes from the grill in Baba, and the rooms are sleek and comfortable with curated collections of books and artworks."

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"

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 "Try for a room with a view – they're fabulous." Full review
Fodor's "Glass walls extend from the 19th-century facade of a former church, foreshadowing the daring interior of one of the city's original boutique hotels." Full review
Jetsetter "A luxury boutique hotel in central Edinburgh, with a two-acre roof garden, breakfast and a dining discount." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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."
