A four-pearl Victorian country mansion, Norton House Hotel and Spa, built in 1843, sits on 55 acres of beautiful grounds that feature mature trees and pretty hanging baskets. The hotel is a classic stone-built manor with 83 rooms that include a number of luxury suites. Intended as a traditional country retreat, the property is tucked away from the bustle of the city. The spa, located in a separate building, offers a range of treatments, including a form of mud therapy. The hotel is a five-minute drive from the airport, but aircraft noise is not a problem. Edinburgh's city center is half an hour's drive away, making Norton House a good choice for those seeking a bucolic getaway, and for business travelers using its meeting rooms and business facilities, and taking advantage of its proximity to the airport.

Built in 1897, this traditional Edinburgh-stone house has an imposing tower on the side, which was originally used as a lookout for merchant ships coming in to the Port of Leith. Today, the property is a 10-room, mid-range hotel which offers basic rooms and facilities but is good value all around. There’s a good restaurant and bar on-site, and free car parking for guests. Those staying here are likely to need a car as it’s not near any of Edinburgh’s attractions and there’s nothing to see in the immediate vicinity.

While it doesn't look like much from the outside, the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is a seriously upscale hotel with some outstanding facilities. The largest of its class in the city, the property has a six-floor spa, which includes an impressive rooftop infinity pool with views of Edinburgh Castle -- although the sauna and steam baths cost extra. The 269 rooms are suitably luxurious, with some great in-room tech and swanky bathrooms, some also overlooking the castle. As well as being the biggest hotel in Edinburgh, it's also one of the city's most expensive, but the Sheraton Grand does deliver a luxury experience for the money.

The 23 Mayfield is a luxury bed-and-breakfast housed in an immaculately presented Victorian villa set about a mile south of Edinburgh's historical center. Period interiors are particularly impressive throughout, extending to eight charming rooms with hand-carved mahogany furnishings and, in some, views of Arthur's Seat. Breakfast is a real highlight and one of the best available in the city, while a cozy candle-lit lounge provides a superb setting for a nightcap. While rates are justifiably toward the higher end and the location isn't ideal for exploring the city on foot, this is certainly one of the finest guesthouses on offer in Edinburgh.

Holiday Inn Edinburgh City-West is a modern mid-range hotel in the Craigleith area across a busy road from the Craigleith Retail Park. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, and rooms are functional, clean, and quiet. Free Wi-Fi is offered, but it's often so slow that guests find it necessary to upgrade to faster Wi-Fi, which comes with a fee. The hotel is southeast of the city center -- it's within a five- to 10-minute drive or a 10- to 25-minute bus ride away from such attractions as Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle. Because of its location, rates are lower than what comparable properties would cost in the city center.

The 95-room Best Western Kings Manor Hotel is a mid-range, family-run property housed in a former convent with plenty of modern architectural add-ons. Located a short walk from the picturesque seaside suburb of Portobello, it's far from Edinburgh's tourist attractions -- though local trains run regularly into the city. Rooms are clean and contemporary with decent amenities, while leisure facilities are way above-par for this level of hotel (there's a huge indoor pool, fitness center, tennis court, and spa all on-site). Overall, for those happy with the out-of-town location -- despite some tired decor in places -- rates represent pretty good value. Wi-Fi is free, but can be slow.

This Ibis hotel opened in 2014 is no-frills even by the chain's usual stripped-down standards, with a business park location on the western fringe of Edinburgh. However, the budget property is modern and bright with just enough essentials to make for a comfortable overnight stay. The 161 rooms are clean but small with few amenities, and bathroom privacy might be an issue for some. While the hotel is super convenient for the airport -- and one of the cheapest options around the city -- tourists who want easy access to Edinburgh's attractions should look elsewhere. The playfully decorated Grassmarket Hotel costs about twice as much, though is affordable considering its excellent city center location.

Housed in three converted, 19th-century Georgian townhouses, the Place is an intimate, 47-room hotel with a dash of boutique style. It features an excellent New Town location, within a five-minute walk of Princes Street, George Street shopping, and Harvey Nichols, while the Old Town sights are less than a 20-minute walk away. The three pearl hotel has a trendy restaurant and modern rooms with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Rates are relatively affordable, thanks to the location away from the main Old Town attractions, though there are fees for breakfast and parking.

A charming, 45-room, upscale boutique hotel in a pleasant residential neighborhood, the Murrayfield Hotel and House is within walking distance of Murrayfield Stadium. Intimate and cozy, its clientele is mostly couples, rugby fans or not. Its restaurant, the Bothy, serves inventive Scottish cuisine, and its lively bar broadcasts live sports on TV.

Outside the city center but accessible to public transportation, the hotel is relatively inexpensive compared with other upscale properties in the city center. The Murrayfield also operates a nine-bedroom town house on the same block as the hotel, which guests can rent in its entirely or by the room.
