B+B Edinburgh

$$$ | 3 Rothesay Terr., Edinburgh, EH3 7RY, Scotland

Standing out along an elegant and tranquil West End terrace, this excellent B&B is the Scottish outpost of supertrendy B+B Belgravia of London; the imposing Victorian mansion combines grand public spaces with affordable modern accommodation. An elegant entrance, hallway, and handsome original features—including marble and carved wood—are complemented by quirky lights and furniture. The building has a double-height library and a lounge bar crammed with interesting artwork and antiques, as well as views down to leafy Dean Village and the Water of Leith from the large breakfast room. The contemporary bedrooms offer muted colors and simple but stylish decor: think gray walls, large artwork, and big comfy beds.
