This 18-room luxury boutique hotel is an elegant, exclusive property set in three Georgian houses on a posh residential street in Edinburgh’s New Town. Upon arrival, guests are enveloped in an aura of traditional sophistication, quality, and service worthy of Downton Abbey. Butler service is included, and the attentive staff will press trousers, shine shoes, do personal shopping, serve afternoon tea en suite, draw baths, and more. Guest rooms are ultra luxurious, with canopy beds and immense marble bathrooms. But some decor could use updating, and there have been occasional housekeeping issues. The elegant restaurant serves modern Scottish cuisine, and pre-dinner drinks are available in the comfortable drawing room. Travelers looking for a deeply historic atmosphere could also try the Witchery by the Castle.

A three-room B&B, 20 Albany Street is housed in a particularly attractive Georgian building on a peaceful and residential street within walking distance of Edinburgh's main station and city center. The grandest and most luxurious room in this boutique features an enormous bed and beautifully finished period bathroom with a clawfoot bathtub; all rooms are cozy with electric kettles, small flat-screen TVs, and safes. Hearty Scottish breakfasts and afternoon tea with homemade cakes are included in the rates, which -- although they're certainly steep for a bed and breakfast -- are reasonable for the quality of accommodation. Wi-Fi is free.
