Edinburgh Hotels

Edinburgh's hotels have come of age over the last two decades, particularly in the luxury category. However, there is still a wide choice of accommodation options to suit every pocket, including cheap hotels. Be warned, though, many hotels peddle substantially higher room rates for the Festival in August.

The hotels below have been classed into three different pricing categories:
Luxury (over £150)
Moderate (£100 to £150)
Cheap (under £100)

The prices quoted are the rack-rates for a double room on a week-night out of high season, inclusive of tax and breakfast unless otherwise stated.
