Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Housed in buildings that are part of the original New Town designed by Robert Adam, at the corner of Charlotte Square and fashionable George Street, the Roxburghe provides classy atmosphere reflected in the elegant drawing room with its ornate ceiling and woodwork, antique furnishings, and tall arched windows. Reopened in 2000 after a multimillion-dollar redevelopment, the hotel was enlarged into two neighboring buildings, tripling the original number of guest rooms, which vary in size. The largest are in the original building and maintain features such as their imposing fireplaces. The new rooms have more recent furnishings and more up-to-date plumbing. The hotel's Melrose restaurant features classic British cuisine and Scottish specialties.
